I am not sure what my prob? My IE won't let me change the home page. It stays @ http://ie.redirect.hp.com/svs/rdr?TYPE=3&tp=iehome&locale=EN_US&c=63&bd=PAVILION&pf=desktop regardles of what I do. I have been on phone with Sprint and my broadband is working, I have been on phone with microsoft and they did several things, the last being smitfraudfix and l live one scan. I am attaching the hijackthis log? (i think) this is all so confusing to me. I do use p2p, but not after I get this machine fixed. I have norton full suite I think. any ideas before i go back to MS or re0image my machine? thanks
