Internet Explorer question
Is there anyway to lock the homepage setting? I have mine set to Penny-Arcade, but some weasel of a program manhandled its way into my pc and made it so everytime I restart, the homepage is set to Search City or something. I set it back to PA in the control panel, but is there anyway to lock it so I dont have to do it every damn time ?

I had the same bulls*** happen a few days ago. I had to go in and manually remove the program.

I have plenty of problems like that. Adaware will generally solve the problem but I've had a lot of cases where it didn't do anything.

Ahh... I've got search-space on mine. Its simply a browser Hijack. Use the ad-aware as most people have said, but there will be times (like mine.
 ) where you Cant get rid of it. its some sort of 'spider' spyware that you have to go through and delete stuff manually (which i still cant seem to do...)

Snag a programme called "CWShredder" to fix that problem. I highly recommend it.
