Default Spyware?

I'm using WinME and have NTL broadband which has been fine for the last couple of years, i'm now having problems when i go to my home page as it keeps opening on search for blank????
i reset the homepage to ntlworld and click apply but it just resets itself to blank when i try to open it again

someone suggested i might be infected with a spyware? is there a free download to get rid of it?

Cheers

yup just do a search for spybot search and destroy..

this will remove (dont for get to update it after installing) spyware.

there is another product called spyware blaster that you can use to block future spyware from being downloaded and installed.
