Hi twiggy. You have been infected with a browser hijacker by the looks of it.

LH, I am not sure whether this is an infection. "mod investigating" is e.g. a BBC webpage.

Go on then whs. Tell twiggy how to reset the home page. (He/She is from Florida) :)

Sorry whs. Your post came in after I put mine in (even tho' it was before it)

twiggy. Please do not start a New Topic for this problem.

Twiggy, hi and welcome. Here is the Microsoft KB solution:

And here is a long discussion from various folks with the same problem:

I would say before a recovery you could try:

1) Reset all IE settings in Internet Options -> Advanced -> under "Reset internet explorer settings" click the Reset button. Shown here:

2) Try System Restore to roll back to a time when it was working.

If none of this works -- not even the answer from Microsoft's KB for this exact problem -- then maybe you should do a system recovery.

With system restore you need not unplug anything. The recovery process should take 15 to 30 minutes maximum depending on your system. Just go where the picture says and pick your restore point. Don't click several times - have patience and wait for the Recovery Wizard.
