    I got a virus on my system because I was stupid enough to do some stuff without noticing it was off. It changed my homepage from what I had it. Is there some reason Vista isnt letting me change it back? I already ran symantec and removed the offending files.

    verify ur services and start.up processes - it might still be sneaking somewhere and re.surface with each re.boot

    cheers ...
