    Hi

    last night i made a bad mistake which i regret now, and managed to get some malware on my comp, one of which was a Fake virus warning which changed my Home page to a site to download fake antivirus software...

    I have Cleaned my PC now, and all the things have been Deleted, but it is not allowing me to change the homepage from that site... if there is a way, please help

    or am i going to have to reinstall Windows Explorer...and if so where can i get the installer for Windows internet explorer 6? (still on SP1)

    Thankyou!

    Thanks for taking the time to read

    Fry

    You don't have to reinstall.

    Post this over in the malware section of the forum for help. Read this first.
