Default Home Page

Everytime I try to change my home from www.myway.com it comes right back after I restart my computer. I can go in there and I can change my home page to what I want, but once I restart my computer, www.myway.com comes back as my home page. Can someone please help me with this. Thank you very much

Could be spyware, run Ad-aware, Spybot Search & Destroy or similar to check.

Your computer is infested with spyware.

Go to http://download.microsoft.com and download the free beta version
of Microsoft Antispyware. Install it and let it scan your computer.
It should detect and remove this homepage hijacker and anything else
of similar ilk that may have found its way onto your computer.

Another alternative would be to go to http://housecall.trendmicro.com
and use their free online scanner to detect and remove the problem
item(s).

And a third choice would be to go to
http://www.webroot.com/consumer/downloads and get the free 14 day
trial version of Webroot's SpySweeper and run it to clean things up.

Good luck

Default Re: Home Page

I found out what the problem was. It was AD-Aware. Ad-Aware block any changes to the Registry. I must go in there and say I accept the change.
Thank you for helping me.
