My Home Page is crazy. 26

I had some sort of problem like that, where spyware-adware went wrong and screwed up my whole internet connection. These things change and even corrupt the registry.

Try another browser. Maybe it's just IE that is fouled up. As people have said, try Mozilla Fire Fox. A few years ago I hated mozilla, but now it has got really good. You may want to try Opera too.

Regarding fixing IE or the internet connection that has been messed up by spyware, go into IE and see what your homepage has been changed to, that will give you something to google on since specific spyware cna have a specific solution.

The solution that worked great for me and has for others, is to push the registry back. Win9X uses scanreg. Win XP uses system restore. You can only go back 3 weeks though, so if you've had this problem for longer than that then you can't use that method. I found an unorthodox solution, - running Win 9X, -was to delete the registry files, then reinstall windows. (If you do not delete the registry files then the registry remains screwed). So maybe deleting the registry files in XP and doing a repair from the CD.

The only solution I recommend is the one that I did that is orthodox. Which is to push the registry back. The only other solution that I did - the unorthodox one, was whilst running win 9x deleting the reg files and reinstalling - that worked for me.

Of course you know the 'risk' of pushing the registry back, is some programs have stored settings in there and they may get confused and need to be reinstalled or reconfigured. Even if it does happen, it's no big deal (not from my experience anyway)
