Ipuj,

follow this steps to get rid of it. Start|Run, type regedit and hit OK. Once the registry editor opens, select Edit|Find... and type "Default_Page_URL" (copy&paste the words without the "&quot. Check Values and Data. Click on Find Next. Once Default_Page_URL shows up in the right hand window, right click on it, select Modify and type (if you want your browser to open the MSN page by default):

http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dll?prd=ie&pver=6&ar=msnhome

Under Deafult_Page_URL is Default_Search_URL. You may type:

http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dll?prd=ie&ar=iesearch

This done, go to Edit|Find... and type Start Page. Check match whole string only. More than one instance may show up. Make sure that at the bottom of the Registry Editor windows reads: My Computer\HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main and in the right hand window "Start Page" is highlighted. Right click on it, select Modify and ty exactly what you typed under Default_Page_URL. Just copy&paste:

http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dll?prd=ie&pver=6&ar=msnhome

Hit F5 then Registry|Exit.

Secondly, go to Start|Settings|Control Panel|Internet Options|Programs tab and click on Reset Web Settings..., click OK|OK. Close everything down, then fire up IE6. If it opens on "

http://www.msn.com/",

you're in biz.

Good luck!

PS. Careful with (child)porn sites. It may bring countless headaches for you, this one being the least troublesome!

Are all these people visiting these sites to get this problem or is there some worm floating around that is attacking innocent people? I know there is a virus that does this, but this doesn't seem to be a virus they are reporting???? "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing....."

nobrain,

you know what you're talking about! That's exactly the meaning of the warning. True that there is a virus that does "violate" the "default" web page of many browsers. Yet, I certainly agree with your opening remark!
