madatyahoo Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 my homepage is changed by some outside force --- even when i put the site on the restricted sites list. they are sites like youfindall.net and xupiter.net (yahoo sites?). yahoo has also inserted its own toolbar on the explorer window, and i am unable to get rid of it? if someone understands my problem and could help, i would be forever grateful.keith buchanan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark2 Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Welcome to the forum Keith, I'm afraid you have been hijacked, Xupiter is a bugger to get rid of but Spybot search and destroy will clear it, go to here, download, install and update it, then boot in safe mode and run spybot allowing it to remove the spyware, then you should be able to restore your homepage to the one you want. Post back if any further problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
