Not always does it happen but recently when I open Firefox, in place of my usual home page, I get http://search. n o t e p a d.com
Ignore the spaces Can anyone confirm whether it is a baddie, or perhaps associated with a program I have on my computer

No one has to agree with my opinion, but in the time I have left a miracle would be nice.

Have you tried changing your home page back again as it may only have been a side effect of something you clicked on

It's most off-putting, as although the home page in FF and IE is shown correctly, just now when I opened the browser, it went to search.notepad site. However when I clicked the little house, my home page came up.

That probably means your home page and start page are different

Not had the problem, but think that mcafee site is pretty useless to anyone who doesn`t know how to get rid of it.....
the site is stating the obvious, to those who understand it,
but telling nothing to those who don`t....
what a pity they couldn`t go just that little bit further, and give instructions on how to remove it, or at least change you homepage back to it`s original status.
