Hi
Whilst browsing yesterday, I seemed to get a spate of pop up's coming on to the screen, mainly from America, betting sites and search engines. I came off line, ran Spybot and a Virus check and this seemed to solve the problem as there have been no more problems.
However, my home page on Internet Explorer has been changed and eaxh time I log on it is a different site, similar to yesterday.
When I go into to tools to change my homepage, it says I am locked out and I need to see the Administrator, which is me.
How do I change the homepage to one I use and stop this changing homepage. Also, do I need to do a deeper check of the computer, as there may be something there if something has control over my homepage.
Thanks in advance
Martin

Seems like your browser still has a hijacker - can be part of a toolbar that get's installed.
