Aworried mom in Chennai writes that the home page of her Internet Explorer browser is pointing to a porn website though she did not download or install any software or toolbars.
"Start Page"="http://www.xxx.com/"
"Search Page"="http://www.pornsite.com/"
"Search Bar"="http://search.xxx.com/"
She tried changing the homepage to google.com or yahoo.com but the changes are reversed the next time she starts her computer.
Solution: The best solution is to download free spyware program like HijackThis! or Ad-aware – they will probably find and fix the issue that is causing your browser to point to a sex site.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] "Start Page"="http://www.xxx.com/"
"Search Page"="http://www.pornsite.com/"
"Search Bar"="http://search.xxx.com/"
Check the boxes next to these entries and say "Fix"
