Recently i have found that when i turn on the system, or use my log-in, and go on ie6, it directs straight to a search engine called 'best search engine', even when i have reset it back to my original homepage. Why is this happening cos i've deleted all my temp internet files, and all cookies and all temp files and it still comes back. Please help ppl cos it's driving me round the bend not having my links on my homepage.

PMSL - formatting because you've got spyware on your PC - slight overkill!!!

Look in your host file, there is a virus that dumps a load of shite in there and redirects loads of pages to crappy websites.
Or have you installed MSN plus by any chance?
