My home page keeps redirecting to another page when I open IE, the home page address still the same under tools=> Options!
Is it some virus or spyware?
How to get rid of it?
I have Norton unti-virus.

Oh that happened to me once! I tried changing the hompage but it always goes back to the same one that i didn't choose in the first place.. i think it is a virus or something..
What i did was restored my computer to an earlier date (before that started happening) and the problem went away.. START=> Accessories => System Tools => System Restore. Hope that helps.. Good luck :)
you have another tool or software using that home page is active....i think u should un tick that

I will try to do that, but I hope restoring will not delete some files.

Norton is crap! Download avast! (http://avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html)
Do a scan, I think it will clean this ad-ware you have.

It shouldn't delete saved files.. only change back certain settings + if you aren't happy with the result after restoring you can always restore it back to the way it used to be..
i think you should download Kaspersky internet security it contain antivirus too so no worries, to read more about and download it check the link below

be sure to get rid of the norton befor installing the kasper :)

example: if ur using hotbar or yahoo bar or any of these softwares that use internet...in their options u will find a place where there is a tick on having their website as ur homepage...untick that because even if u have ur own setting in ur defult browser, some softwares overcome it.
