I'm running Windows 98.
Almost every day, when I attempt to open my Home Page, which is supposed to be set to Google, I get redirected to a page that I don't want to use. So, I go into 'Internet Options' and there is the page I don't want taking the place of my Google page. When I delete it, it comes back when I reboot. How can I keep this other, unwanted page from reappearing? It's really frustrating. Thanks in advance for any help you can render.

Paul

Paul, what is the page's address? If it's something you might be embarrassed to mentioned, don't be -- we've almost all experienced arriving at sites with no action on our parts.

Hi Paul, it sounds as though something on your system is hijacking your browser homepage.
Downloading and running one of these should sort it.
Browser Hijack Blaster
AdaWare
Spybot search and destroy

Thanks, Redder!

I have Adaware and Spybot and they were fine for awhile. I'm currently using AVG 6.0 for virus protection. Now, thanks to you, I have Browser Hijack Blaster. I hope it does the trick!

Thanks again.
Paul
