Re: Re: About.Blank

Thanks for the suggestion.
I have used Spybot S&D in the past but was not aware that it can also lock home page and keep it from being hijacked.
Hmmmmmmmm, I will look at it again.

There's always Spybot S&D as well, which will lock your browser's home

I have had that happen before. Did you try going the long way round?

Start/All programs/Accessories/Command Pormpt.
