    Folks

    I work in an interner cafe and at the moment, theres seems to be this feckin bug that is setting the homepage to porn sites, I can manually set it to anything else, like ireland.com and then when I come back its set to the feckin porn page again.....

    more out of curiosity, does any one know whats happening ?

    A little app on you're system is running on PC startup. It changes the homepage.

    You could try AdAware. It might pick it up.

    Have a look in the Task Manager. You might see some unusual app there (probably leeching loads of memory too)

    Also it will probably have stuck it in Windows Run keys in the registry to start it each time.

    Aye AdAware is the best bet.. but take a look in err crap.. cant remember .. c:\windows\application data\internet explorer or something.. iirc they usually throw one or two dodgy dlls in there.
