    Could someone give me some advice as to how to stop IE6 from loading an unwanted web page as my home page when I first open the browser? I can go to Tools>Internet Options>Home Page and change it to blank (which is what I want to do), then hit Apply, then OK. I can close the browser, then reopen a new one with the blank page as my home page like I want it. The offending page is real-yellow-page.com.

    But everytime I log off the Internet, then back on and open my browser, the offending page is my home page again. Might be a simple fix. I just don't know what it it cause I'm not that pc savvy.

    Thanks in advance for any help w/this problem.

    I almost forgot to add that I've also run Spybot S&D and Adaware, and neither of those progs show any problems to be fixed. I'm in the process of dnloading and installing HijackThis also.

    Did you just leave the entry area blank or clicked the leave blank button.

    Thanks for the info master_josh. I did read thru this as you suggested, but, from the time of my 1st post and your response, I dnloaded and ran HiJackThis and SpywareBlaster. Ran both of them and I don't know which one fixed my problem, but I'm in good shape now. No more hijacked home page.

    Thanks again for your help.
