Default help!

Last night, I went on this website to....um.......download adult material(?) but instead, it just downloading a whole bunch of crap from a spam website. I deleted everything I saw, and I thought it was over, but when I turned on my computer today, some of the desktop shortcuts came back, and my homepage was changed back to that website! What the hell should I do?!?!?!?

Well, to change your Homepage, do this:

Open Internet Explorer > Click "Tools" > Click "Internet Options" > Change Homepage.

Then, try deleting the shortcuts again and restarting your computer... If that doesn't work, you could always hide the shortcuts in a folder and hide the folder in another folder on your desktop or something- I'm not sure exaclty.

yeah but it doesn't matter how many times I change my homepage or how many times I delte the shortcuts, they keep coming back!

I'm thinking about doing a system re-boot. It has worked in the past

Well, thats odd that it reset itself back to the old webpage... Did you hit apply and then ok? I don't know if it makes a difference, but it may.
