My Internet Explorer has been hijacked (i.e. my browser web page cannot be changed from a site that I don't want). What can I do?

boot into safe mode and run spybot, ad aware, make sure your Anti Virus is up to date and run a full system scan, clear your cache in IE, reset the home page and reboot and run everything again. If you have XP turn off the system restore first.

Stop looking up those "bad" sites. On topic, run Windows Live One Care and see it can find anything. If it doesn't work move on to other spyware programs...
Adaware SE
Spybot Search & Destroy
A-squared Free
AVG Antispyware
Spyware Terminator

Download any free anti-spyware program that can help you from hijackers
I recommend you to download the program called Spyware sweeper
This will manually remove the spyware, which is hijacking your browser. You would find instructions at
