what teh heck is goin' on!?

[InsertCoolName]

Every time I try to load Internet Explorer, it forces me into thes bullcrap website that forced itself to become my start page. I changed it back many MANY times, but this jusk still comes up. Some times it changes to a nasty porn site!

I did a search and couldn't find any files or programs that would do this, or maybe i'm searching for the wrong thing.

And now theres this other search bar on my toolbar, I never wanted any of this!!!

Can somebody please help me get rid of this trash!

Stop downloading spyware crap and get Ad Aware

Yep. Defiantely the work of spyware here. Like Viper Zero said, grab yourself an anit-spyware tool like Adaware or Spybot - Search & Destroy.

You should actually use a combination of Adaware and Spybot, but I find Spybot does the job well enough.

Disable your ActiveX downloads.
If the sites you really like are displaying, "Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page. As a result, the page may not display properly", enable the download, let the site install, then disable.
You might want to set a restore point before download.
I used to run wide-open, but after Xupiter, no more.
It was weeks before I allowed GTPlanet to install.

go to Tools > Internet Options :

When there, try to Delete Cookies, Delete Files( make sure you select all offline content. )

That may help.

good luck

Some sites make themselves your start page on their own wihout telling you. Not saying you look at porn or anything, but just keep that in mind.
