Everytime I go on-line some "thing" I must have picked up
on the net keeps changing my home page to
res://mshp.dll/index.html#10213. No matter how many times
I reset it, it changes it back the next time. I've done a
virus search and spybot too. Nothing. Also anytime I do a
search (usually on Google) that same "thing" throws in
its 2 bits of info. Where is it and how do I get rid of
it???? Please e-mail me if you have any suggestions,
because I'll never find this page again. Many thanks, Paul
