Author Homepage Hijacking
Timothy Maurer

My Homepage has been hijacked. Every time I get on the
internet my homepage reverts to an unwanted site. I've
gone through all the proper techniques using internet
options, but when I turn the computer on, there it is.
I've also used Adaware and other spyware programs to no
avail. Can someone help me?

Thanks,
Tim

Bummer. But you're asking for help in the wrong place, try an IE
group.

Qs: (which should have been in your original post...)

1. Your page is on IIS? What version of IIS, what OS?
2. Local web site (the computer in front of you...) or remote hosted
web?
3. Hijacked... What happens? Are your web pages on the server being
modified by someone other than you? Or are the users being sent to the
wrong IP or server?
4. I'm more thinking that someone has hijacked your web site's domain
name, and if this happened you can't fix it whre you are, but must
contact your ISP. *If* your domain name has been hijacked, you can
ruin their day at a minimum.

I guess you could try the following...

Run AV software (AVG is a good free one)
Run ad/spyware program (adaware by grisoft is a good free one)
Clear cache and Temp files

Other than that....
