Unable to change home page...

For a while now I have had yahoo.com as my home page. A few days ago it
changed. When I start IE6 it loads http://www.yoursystemupdate.com.
Regardless of what address I type in the properties window nothing seems to
change. Can anyone help? Thanks

Remove the spyware from your computer.

Hi,
You have malware installed.

For starters, download, update and run Ad-aware, Spybot and (if running
WinXP) MS Anti-Spyware (Beta.)
See these sites for help:

These programs can't remove everything, especially very recent releases. You
may have to register and post a HijackThis log to one of these forums for
additional help. Look for the proper forum and an "Important- Read This

I just picked this one up too. If you type a url in a file folder
window, then you can get to other sites. I haven't figured out how to
remove it even though I ran adaware, the newest version of microsoft
antispyware, and I'm going to run spybot search and destroy.

Has anyone been able to get rid of this one? I havn't found anything
yet to get rid of this little bastard! I have run updated SpyBot and
AdAware as well with no luck

Thanks,
Rob

Get rid of what? Nothing in your post.
