comp problem
cleaning up another friends computer, ran into a problem. we can't get her homepage to stay at google. i ran adaware, which was on hers already, got 50 objects or so. then i updated it, and it found 641 more objects :eek3:
the homepage now goes to about:blank instead of crappy start pages. plus weird shit keeps finding its way into her favorites automatically. update isn't working either, tells me i need something downladed, its odd.
any suggestions?

Check Add/Remove programs for any new programs that seem out of the ordinary. I would also run msconfig to see whats on your startup then you can further dig in your registry.

Start > Run > type "msconfig" and press enter
Go under the Startup tab and see what you are running when Windows starts. Uncheck whatever you don't need.
