Home Page Changing Virus

[pretender2k]

I don't know if anyone else has had this but it has plagued me for a couple of weeks and I finally found the answer. It changes your home page to a bunch of numbers and percentage signs. Here is the link to the fix on symantec's site.

hope this helps some other person that has been irritated by this junk.
