When I turn on my computer and click on my name to get on my site I type in my password and my page comes up. I click on Mozilla to get my homepage to come up which was yahoo now my spyware page comes up. It has a window that asks to allow or block my homepage which was internet explorer. If I click block then the pop up comes back up. So I have to allow it just to get a home page up. which is the spyware page. I have my toolbar where I can click on my mail for yahoo but this is annoying. I went into my programs and defaults to change to mozilla then I down loaded the new firefox hoping that my homepage would come up. Nope, I still get the spyware. Maybe I should just delete the spyware and start over. I didn't click for it to be my homepage when I downloaded it. If you have any thing to help me I would be so grateful. Thanks lorrie ivins
