MSN Hijack

[Jeff Lebowski]

Question for you geeks. My home page on Firefox keeps getting reset to www.msn.com. I figured it would be a simple problem to solve, but I am having no luck. I ran Spybot but that didn't help. I have done a fair amount of googling but have come up empty so far. Anyone seen this before? Any ideas on what would cause it?

TIA.

Can I assume you clicked on tools/options and set the url for your homepage manually then saved it?

If so, I have no idea, other than Bill Gates is still trying to rule the world.

No idea what's causing it. I would just use a program that provides hijack protection. It will warn you whenever something tries to change your designated homepage. I use superantispyware, but I'm sure there are a bazillions of others that offer the same feature.
