My internet start page has been hijacked by "Globe-Finder.net". I have followed you instructions for changing start pages, but I still get Globe-finder each time I reboot the pc and access the web.

Would appreciate any advice on how I can get rid of this.

I have tried making Yahoo my start page and it works while the computer is on. But, at reboot, I am back to Globe-finder.

Thanks

You are getting this problem because you may have a virus or there is spyware in your pc You should run any anti-virus software you have and scan your entire computer Then you can go to www.download.com and download a free program called Spybot: Search and Destroy this will remove all spyware from your computer that may be causing this problem Once you do this you should go to your internet options and change the homepage, hit apply then OK.
