    Angry Unwanted portal

    I use Microsoft internet explorer and recently an unwanted portal has attached itself to it. Anyone know how I can rid myself of this menace?

    Hi If you go to their site and scroll to the end of the page you can click on customer service from that page you are given the option of removing this site as your start page. You might like to download startpage guide it prevents this from happening and it's free.

    Thanks for your help - I discovered a rogue program (lop.com) and I uninstalled it. It appears to have solved my problem
