    Home page problems

    I have a random search page as my home page for some unknown reason. It isnt a problem except im unable to change it back to normal!

    If i go to internet ops n change it it works when i first open the internet, but if i open a second window its back to the dodgy page. I have deleted my temp internet file and cookies, put my history down to 0 days - didnt shift it.

    Have ran sbybot and ad-aware, they didnt remove it, ran anti-virus still no luck!

    When i go to properties it says
    Protocol: Unknown
    Type: not available
    Conection: not encrypted
    Address: about:blank
    everything else is "not available"

    Anybody have any ideas?

    Sounds like the lovely "lop" tool bar and search engine thing. It might not be...but go here click on "downloaded here"...once it's downloaded, open it with the browser still open, run it, once it's done, close all browsers, open one again, see if it still happens.

    Worth a shot :)
