Hint for non-creative web users: Try the obvious!

Actually, with all the porn site scams these days, that may not be good
advice. You are better off going to Google and searching first, the
clicking on the link.

Ask my wife who one day tried to shop online at Williams-Sonoma by typing
in what she thought was the web site name. It took me a day or two of
scrubbing to remove all the filth left behind by the unscrupulous site.

Do a web-search using the words "favorites hijacking" or "homepage
hijacking" and you will find out how to configure your IE to prevent it. I
removed a program to stop it after somebody here typed whitehouse.com
instead of whitehouse.gov.
