Even though this isnt a general Technical Help forum (which i realized jj2 is a game soon after my first post) I figured i would ask here before I post somewhere else because you helped me so much last time. heres the problem: For some reason, my Internet Explorer keeps getting the home page reset to some search engine. When i go back to use:Blank, 20 minutes later its set back to that search engine. And when i click use:Default, it sets the homepage to another search engine. Also, when ever i click links while surfing, this one adult site pops up that i cant even see. I right click>close and then another one pops up, EVERYTIME. One more thing, when i search at google.com or yahoo.com, sometimes when i click one of the results, it will just open another search engine and search for the same thing i searched for in google or yahoo. I have no idea whats going on. I have been running Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D every week or so, ever since my last post. Thanks so much for the help.

Check your win.ini. Google any suspicious looking command lines.
