Hi I hope i'm in the right forum. if not can somebody move me to the right one please.i use verizon for my home page, and at least 2 times per week my spyware(spysweeper) alerts me to the fact that my home page has been hijacked.which means when i log onto my isp it's no longer verizon with all my personal settings, its msn. all i have to do is go to tools and under internet options i retype dslstart@verizon.net and i get it back again after closing down msn and re logging on to internet explorer. its not a huge deal but why does this happen? thanks

You probably have spyware since it keeps coming back. Or it could just be the setting need to be reset.

Go to Control Panel > Internet Options. Reset the home page.

If it continues to redirect post a HijackThis log.
