Ive recently gone to a site, *a normal site ran by one or
two people, it wasnt a corparation site or anything* and
now my homepage has changed to a search engine that
delivers a lot of pop-ups to my computer. It wont let me
change it, and it bothers me because there was some crude
information on the page. Ive tried going to Internet
Properties and sites that offer you to change your page,
but nothing works, and now it wont let my toolbar that
has a pop-up blocker come on. Some of the pop ups are
inaproprite and crude. Could I have a virus? My computer
is still as fast as it used to be, and it hasnt effected
any other part of my computer. Has this happened to
anyone? Can someone please help.
Thank you,
