Hello Tom - I am having the same problem that BillJones4080 has - Internet Explorer home page keeps getting hijacked by 'fountianofyouth.com' (note spelling error - this is part of the problem!) and then adding unsavory favorites to my list and unwanted redirecting to other unsavory sites. Not good. I run SpyBot, AdAware, SpywareGuard - all to no avail. I'm running FireFox now as browser, and have been able to stop it there, but it remains a problem in IE. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Another thing - this only became a problem when I upgraded to Windows XP two weeks ago, so it is definitely XP related.
