Help with Browser Problem

S

Sanjuro

I have a problem with my startup page.
I go into Tools -> Internet Options and set it
When I close and re-open it, it works and goes to that page.
But if I restart my computer, my startup page changes to
some search engine.

It started happening a day or two ago when I was surfing.
I hate it when some pages spam multiple pop-ups, try to
install gator on your computer and add bookmarks for you.
I always hit no when any page wants to install anything.

1. How do I remove whatever program or process that keeps
changing my startup page every time I restart windows?

Thanks for any replies on how to fix this!
 
I was having the same problem....quite annoying!

Once I installed a type of application known as "Spyware", it detected all of the unwanted apps and then gave me the opportunity to delete each one. I used a free version of Spybot (but there are plenty of others to consider) and installed it about 3 months ago. Haven't had a problem since.

If interested, we had a similiar discussion on eSignal Central in July.

Hope that helps.
 
I just downloaded and installed the Spybot and it found some things but I'm still having problems with my startup page.

Everytime I restart my computer, it sets to
http://www.searchv.com/

I've went into regedit, did a search and deleted like 8 different
references to this web page. So my registry is completely clean.
I reboot and restart IE and it's back again.

That is totally wrong for any webpage to change your booksmarks and change your startup page. I have no idea how it keeps changing it back after I removed it from my registry.

I'm almost considering removing IE and reinstalling IE.
Any other ideas?
