Your PC is infected with a browers hijacker.
Here is a list of free scans.I would recommend running ewido first.

There is a problem with internet explorer, there is a virus that is exploiting this browser's loophole. Microsoft is preparing a patch and will be releasing it along with the updates next month. Personally i would stick to firefox, its a better browser

Good Luck
Critical updates shouldn't come up every day. Just when there are new updates to download.

If you do have a virus, make sure you disable systems restore before removing it, then after booting up re-enable it. Otherwise if you use system restore to an earlier point, the virus will be included once more

Hey u need to go to control panel and go to internet options and check out the internet properties and see what website u got listed there. U can delete it and set your homepage up. Just by adding it there.

I just had that problem a few days ago, It is definetly spyware, but my Norton took care of it...Maybe try to find a specific program that removes spyware, and make sure you are doing a FULL system scan with your Norton...

hi, there are some virus with your IE browser.
i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can disable all virus to run, because the virus can only run on IE.
besides, firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.
firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.
download firefox for free:

Best Wishes && Good Luck!

run a virus checker and a ad ware sweeper, this should solve the problem, if not, run a different program, and make sure youve got your home page set to the one you want as well

1st get windows defender, its free from windows.com and do full scan, not quick scan. is very good for removing spyware, virus's etc...
then go to internet properties, right click to go to internet properties. and change the current homepage
