I have both adaware and spybot. Yet, while I run them on a consistent basis, I am still unable to find certain problems within my computer. The biggest one is this: my homepage is set to Google. But whenever I restart my computer, it turns my homepage to [http://klounada.com/index.htm](http://klounada.com/index.htm). I have no idea what this is or what I was doing when it started about a month ago. But it’s there and I can’t get rid of it. It also makes me wonder how many other problems are floating around my computer and I just don’t realize it because I can’t even find them. Can anyone help me out? Thanks ---
