    someone went onto my computer and looked up a lot of porno and stuff, so im having to fix it, i think it was my brother, so i want to save his butt, anyways, i cant change the home page, its all the grey color that is unclickable, anyone know how i can fix this?

    and one more quick thing, i downloaded a file to put the home page to msn.com, but that only works once, when i close the internet page, it goes back to the old one:(

    If your homepage still switches from your favorite, ask for assistance in the Spyware Specific forum. Do not post a Hijack This log until someone asks to see it, and only as an attachment. If you have Windows XP, right-click on the zip file and in the pop-up menu, select "extract now".I If you don't , you will have to ask someone familiar with your OS for help.

    Correct! Run the items in the http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35407 link that Just Playin already gave you and then let us know where you stand. We will decide at that point what the next step is. HijackThis is the last step not the first. Do not post any HJT logs yet but do read this link on using HJT: http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=38752
