Every time i restart my computer and open Internet Explorer the home page changes to Any-Find.com even though i reset it to the page i want, also several links are added to my favorites list.

Any ideas how i get rid of this.

Thanks

Get Spybot ot Adaware, sounds like a hijacker or spyware

It should be safe to delete ALL the entries found, S&D will only list the malicious spyware progs on your PC.

I regularly run S&D and delete everything it finds.

What is it you WANT to run?

Have a read here, it also lists some other progs which may help.

Internet Explorer is extremely vulnerable and has been the target of several new exploits. You have been hijacked. You can use a non-Microsoft browser which is less vulnerable to these exploits, such as Opera or Mozilla.

CWShredder (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip) has been known to effectively remove many hijacks from Internet Explorer. You might want to give it a shot.
