"Random Homepage"

Well, the homepage isn't so random, its always the same one, it does just randomly set itself though!

www.search-space.com is the name and for no reason, my computer keeps setting this as my homepage. i've been into the control panel to set my homepage back to normal but it just sets itself back to the above again! Its really annoying.

anyone have any idea what it could be?

assuming its a .exe loading everytime windows starts up - i would guess its in the registery - using spyware/adware removers should get rid of it

ever heard of a clear history button?

usually works with mine.
but then again you might not want to lose the addresses to your visted sites...

its not your home page you need to be worried about, the .exe that has changes the hp will still be in your system somewhere. change your home to google, then take a system snapshot. should fix it.

Worst advice ever! But I seem to have fixed the problem through updating AdAware.

hmm, try looking in the settings bit.

I've got this problem too. However I use HiJackThis to remove the command that changes my homepage, but every time the computer is restarted its back again! Any ideas??

(system restore is off)

Google for spybot if ad-aware fails.

If you have Xp, turn off System Restore or it'll keep coming back.

Whilst you are there, Download Ad-Aware 6, It allows you to remove any nasy spyware from your computer that is usually received during porn-viewing.

sorry, i just looked further down the link and found the removel section, thanks alot unknown kernel
