    Col, there is a fair chance you have a virus lurking around your PC as well.
    Do you have a virus checker installed and are the definitions up to date???

    When you first run IE does your normal home page load up or does it go directly to that site you mention.

    If you are running XP then you could use system restore to a time before the problems began and that will work :)

    The virus checker is installed and is up to date (I think).

    With the homepage it does both. Sometimes it goes straight to the page mentioned by changing my home address. Once it is changed back it goes to my home page for a while before changing it again. This is driving me daft. I've got XP so I'll try a system restore (IF I can work out how to do it)

    Here's another thought... if you do maybe have a virus, do a google search for "Stinger" and choose the first link that comes up and downlooad the stinger.exe form the NAI.com web site, then run it on your PC... it's an active virus checker, and it kills them sometimes better than some anti-virus programs... It's a free program from the Network Associates web site

    I had a problem similar to this a few months back Col. I downloaded a program called Spybot, ran it, deleted all the mince (technical term) and prob was resolved. Spybot is freeware, you should be able to find it via Google
