Sometimes if you go to a page it automatically makes it your homepage... go to Tools on the toolbar above, then click Internet Options. Your homepage address will be there and you can change it to whatever you want it to be (just be sure to click ok before you exit out).



Also be sure you go to the Norton Anti Virus website and get your computer checked, updated, and cleaned out.



Hope that helped!!!

definitely spyware. had this happen. need to get a update on your firewall and clean that computer up..
If you have a spyware program in the options or settings sometimes there are places to set your home page. It could be set on their home page. You might check it and change it back to your home page. You can go into windows control panel under internet options and change your home page there. If you have windows xp you can change browser under the install /uninstall and change settings menu. But you can lose files or emails this way. If you don't care to lose emails and contacts switch browsers and then switch back and this can allow you to get your home page back.



Best of Luck
That would be spy-ware, funny I know, go to ad-aware.com is what I use, but you are obviously infected...and when you get it fixed go to your home page manually r-click and make it your home page again.
Possibly that your system is infected with spyware. Scan it with Ad-Aware.

Give Ashampoo AntiSpyware a try too. Its not free but the download is a full working version for 30-40 days.
