Run Adaware. You can get it at hotfiles.com, download.com, or elsewhere.

Adaware will scan for malware, spyware, and junk like what is hijacking your friend's homepage.

If that doesn't do it, try another similar app.

If IE is so messed up, another thing to try is download and install another browser (ie-(no pun intended :)) mozilla). I think they have an FTP site. This way you can browse and access the internet to get the stuff you need to to fix IE.

Good luck!

Solve all your browser problems by switching to Mozilla Firebird. You will love it and never go back...I promise!

Bah all you Mozilla supporters! Use Opera (www.opera.com). :D:p
