go to your start menu.  But before that, have your virus/spyware check it out because a lot of those programs contain junk you don't want on your computer.

It's probably a spyware application, installed through a website or in a software install off the internet.  In an earlier message to you, I recommended Spybot Search and Destroy 1.4 and Ad-Aware Se.  Give them a try (I usually install both, since sometimes one will find what the other might miss).

if you don't have an anti spyware program, I would ignore it.  If you reboot and it still comes up, I would go to this link and download.  It was recommended by my cable company and I use it myself:\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx

Try spybot search and destroy or download yahoo toolbar with antispy. Both are free. Keep in mind, if you downloaded something that has installed this stuff it will need to be uninstalled also!

your system has been infected by adware. Load adaware from Lavasoft.com and also find on the web bhodemon. Load this and run it and disable the Browser Helper Object that might be involved. Situations like this can be very individual in their approach. These suggestions may help, but if you can identify wha did this, perhaps by searching the web for references to the homepage you now see, you may find a more specific solution

You either download a program/file which has a virus or malware. When you tried to run it, it affects your Windows XP and shuts it down. I strongly suggested you get an anti-virus and anti-malware program. If not, do a www.google.com search for some free utlities such as SpyBot and Ad-Ware, and you can download them for free. Don't download any software/utilities for trial use .'cos when it runs out after 14 days' trial, you either have to pay or might have problem removing them entirely from your computer.

Your computer has the about blank virus, and the most recommended program for getting rid of it is Hijackthis from download.com.\n\nhttp://www.download.com/\n\nIt is spyware and a virus, so you might want to also get SpyBot and Ad-Aware at Download.com. They are all free and really, all are needed to keep computers running free of trojans, viruses and spyware today.

Try using  these.\n\nAll of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.\n\nI-Worm/Stration · BackDoor.Generic3.GBB and .GBC · Worm/Generic.FX · Exploit.WMF\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5\n\nSpybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\n\nhttp://superantispyware.com/\nSUPERAntiSpyware is the most thorough scanner on the market.
