>PS But before that, turn off your computer and attach a ROUTER between the modem and your computer. (My son-in-law had his new XP installation hacked in less than half an hour after he started it up without a Router attached.) THANK YOU JIM! I keep saying this and I keep getting ignored. I think some people just like their computer serving up spam in a botnet. It makes them feel like the computer is contributing to the world in some small way. ;-) John W.

What happens if I open the browser, reclaim my homepage, close and reopen? It's opening to the homepage I want, not the hi-jack page, so am I still hi-jacked or not? It stays that way until I reboot the system, and then the hi-jack reclaims my browser.
