    At least once per minute, sometimes more, I get the Spywareguard Browser Protection Alert with a warning that my IE homepage has been changed. Although I appreciate the warning, isn't there *anything* I can do to either automate the response (Restore Old Value) or to block the rascals that are attempting the change?

    This is really a nuisance!!

    Re:Spywareguard Browser Protection Alert

    There are a few possibilities here. Most likely, you've got some form of spyware on your system that is actually making these changes and SpywareGuard is catching it. You could post a HijackThis Log here in order to have the experts look at what that might be, and to help you fix it. Follow the instructions in this thread for that:

    Another possibility is it's a bogus alert and something wrong between your browser and SpywareGuard. If the HijackThis log doesn't turn up anything, we should consider that possibility although it is less likely.

    Re:Spywareguard Browser Protection Alert

    Ah, well hopefully the 5th time's the charm. ;)

    The various experts that stop through here are in different time zones, so it may be a few hours before someone replies, but you never know. So please check back if no answer comes immediately.

    Thanks. I'll try to be patient, but....grrrr!! Can't hardly get a thing done with that stupid thing popping up all the time. And the funny thing is that it says that my homepage is getting changed from http://www.msn.com/ to http://www.msn.com (note that one has the forward slash at the end and the other doesn't).

    What up with THAT??

    Ah, hang on a second... That type of change that's not really much of a change, we've seen that before. You should keep a close eye on this thread, too:

    Try disabling the Startpage protection in Spysweeper, if you have that enabled.

    Regards,
