    Computer Problem

    This problem started today.

    Every time I restart or turn on the computer, and then open Internet Explorer, my homepage changes from msn.ca to thesearches.com. Also, 6 links are added to my 'Favorites' list. I reset my homepage and delete the links, and they stay away as long as I don't restart or turn off and turn on my computer.

    I ran Ad-aware and Spy-Bot, deleted Cookies and Temprorary Internet Files, and checked if there was anything I could uninstall in the Ad/Remove Program section. No effect...

    This problem is very annoying, could anyone help me out?

    Try doing a search for a program called HijackThis. Your browser might have been hijacked, thats all i can think of if you ran fully updated versions of your anti-spyware programs. But be careful with HijackThis when you run it. Don't just delete everything that comes up.
