How can I tell if my computer has a virus?

After every time I shut it down and restart, my internet homepage keeps getting changed automatically to:

http://www.passthison.com/r4/?vu083003-final-destination-redirect-to------------http://www.new-default-homepage339890002228333933989000222833393398900022 28333933989000222833393398900022283339339890002228 3339.net

instead of yahoo.com that I have always had it set at?

No, but I can try that.

I'll bet you have Kazaa right?

Go you your I.E. tools and options and set your homepage back to whatever it was and watch Kazaa. You probably have a little box on the bottom that says "Windows- Internet Explorer" as well.

Am I right? Do I get a cookie! :D
