IE 6 homepage

For some reason - and there is no pattern I can figure out - my IE homepage changes over from the one I specified to a zxnet.com without me actually changing the settings. I figured it was some sort of spyware program doing this, but even after installing and running ad-aware6 frequently, it still occurs.

Thanks in advance for your help!!!! It's really starting to get to me!!

Hi JCG20 - It sounds as though your homepage has been hijacked. Ad-Aware does not necessarily pick this up. Go here and download and run HijackThis. It will repair most browser hijackings.
