Well, it can't be all that hard, It seems everytime i load a new program, they automatically put their start page into my browser...

I've seen a new(?) type of cookie being used by porn AND non-porn sites. It's some sort of doo-hickey that automatically sends you to a specific page with popups everytime you start a browser.

And NO, it's not just the default page setting for the browser. I checked that first.

Took me a while to track the fucker down, but Froggy prevailed. http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/biggrin.gif

As fo the problem you described, a simple javascript can change your default start page. Annoying as all hell, but isn't that half the fun?

I don't know if it's Javascript that automatically does it. I think JS prompts you for a change. I think what's doing it is some plug-ins like when you get a Porncity 404 and it's prompts you for a "browser enhancement" plug-in.
