My system is Windows ME, my IE 's 'home address' fillout place becomes grey and cannot be changed;The other thing is when I use 'regedit' command, it pops 'Administrator disable the function', how come?

Sounds like you have something like a "Common Hijacker on your system. The IE Home page is probably set at a porn site or a gambling site or something similar.

The only thing I can suggest is to download Patrick Kolla's excellent Spybot - Search & Destroy from
http://security.kolla.de

It is a free download with free updates. The author does ask for a donation if you feel inclined, and quite frankly I have found this utility so useful that I fired up the credit card and sent him some of my hard earned cash.

Run Spybot-Search & Destroy and with luck it may find and remove the ofending software and return your IE to your control.

Good luck
Alan

I agree with answer #1, Spybot is excellent for ridding your system of parasites and also, once they are gone, "immunizing" IE to prevent reinfection. Like virus software, you have to keep it up to date. I guess everybody knows this, but another free program which works well is AdAware. I have had great luck with Spybot; first time it scanned my computer it came up with 73 little snoops and cycle suckers. Thanks for the reminder, Alan, I had not yet sent in a donation for this great little app!
