There seems to be a problem with my PC at work.

Whenever I open Explorer now it goes straight to some dodgy search page and a few pop ups pop up.

I have changed my home page in explorer but when I close explorer and open it again it has reverted to the dodgy page again.

I have not opened any viruses or anything like that.

What can I do to get rid of this?

Thanks in advance

Matt

spyware -
you need either the MS one, Spybot search & Destroy.

Both good. If this is a corporate PC, back all files and settings (favourites etc) up, then rin gthe helpdesk, and ask for a rebuild. It shouldbe faster

You've been hijacked.
Some site you visited has installed a trojan to redirect your Explorer.
Do a thorough Antivirus scan, Download Ad-Aware and the Microsoft antispyware programs and run them - failing that have a look at this site:
