If it's a hijack, try getting a spyware scanner and cleaning your system. Check the thread here for some spyware killers. I suggest AdAware

dun_ask · 05-01-2004, 09:46 PM

i've tried all those.. no work.. any other suggestions?

I have the exact same problem, and nothing seems to work (Ad-aware, Spybot, SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper).
It didn't do it for those sites, but others it has.
IE6 and XP Home as well.
I just live with as if only happends once or twice a week.
