I have downloaded spybot and it told me that my computer was repaired however
when I reentered my homepage on explorer properties and attempted to access
the internet it said it could not find it "make sure the path is correct". I
then went back to properties and my homepage had changed back to
"about:blank" - now when I enter any address on the browser it says it
cannot find it. Not only that, why when I look at pages I've visited before
are they all preceded with "//line-plus.com/p/" and then the address I typed
in?

I'm finding this very confusing. Can anyone help?
