    My browser is resetting the home page every time I boot up. The log from HijackThis follows. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

    Welcome to MG's shawook.

    You should check out this link and follow some of the info there first. If still having problems after performing some of the checks given there, repost a new HiJaak This log. Make sure if when you install Ad-Aware and SpyBot Search & Destroy you update first before running. Then cleanup what they find.

    shawook, this line here:

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AdobeFonts] C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\fonts.hta

    is from a browser hijack that is possibly a CoolWebSearch variant, so in addition to chaslang's advise, download and run CWShredder to get rid of that.

    Also make sure you visit the Windows Update site and install all the critical updates for XP.



    Yo Robo, wassup dude?
