I have the ever-so-popular homepage problem. All of a sudden, my homepage changed to this: http://find4u.net/index.htm. I've never had this problem before and I'm kinda curious/worried if it's virus, worm, etc. I ran spyhunter and spybot in addition to Norton. Any suggestions as to what this might be and how to fix it?

Run adaware, spybot and antivirus, let it clean it all out. Then check your msconfig startup....I've had them hide there all the time, and adaware and spybot and norton do not alter the startup, do i would be clean, reboot, and it would be back again. Also, there are tons of browser hijack remover tools out there and many are discussed elsewhere in the forums

Check Add/Remove programs and see if you have any toolbars installed. Apps like SaveNow (or somethng like that) and others are all apps that will automatically hijack your browser. We get calls like this at my work fairly frequently and we just take remote control with Landesk, delete all of the spyware, toolbars, etc and then reset the homepage to the corp intranet.
