Questiona about why a certain website steals my homepage

[jimdagys]

I have tried reinstalling Foxfire, and IE, and setting my homepage to Yahoo, but this other Chinese website (baidu) keeps stealing the homepape back to baidu. What can I do to solve this problem?

[zoobie]

it's a vulnerability last I looked years ago...but I think they've plugged it with newer browsers
you've probably a virus in your box that sets your browsers no matter what versions you run
try running anti-virus scans with adaware and the like

I've used SpyWare Blaster to prevent that, but there are likely other add-on programs that block your homepage from changing without your permission.

You got a bad BHO

In addition to what redwudz mentioned, superantispyware will block rogue websites from hijacking your homepage. So will the old spybot search and destroy.

jim knowing your track record I tend to agree with zoobie that you more than likely have another virus.
