Re: Internet Explorer Start Page Hijacked...
TheBruce1 - OK. I have complied with all of you recommendations. Please note the following in your review. There are 2 disk drives on this Dell Dimension 4550 computer that were both scanned by AOL Active Virus Shield: the existing C drive and the temporarily installed F drive, from which mail and documents were copied to this replacement computer. I will remove the F drive next week when I install an additional 512MB of memory on this slow-running 256 MB Dell Dimension 4550. If the computer is still as slow to launch applications when it has 3/4 GB of memory, then I will be at-a-loss as to what else can be done with this 5-year-old technology that really has no upgrade path beyond adding more memory.
The Firewall that comes with Windows XP seems adequate to me. If you advise against it, should I replace it with ZoneAlarm?
It looks like the system is clean now. Thanks very much to you for the time spent analyzing it and confirming the recommended fixes.
Let me know if you discover anything else. Again, many thanks to you TheBruce1, I am very grateful for your efforts and TechSupportForum.com.
