    Internet explorer
    I keep getting spyware threats saying a high risk highjacker is trying to change my start page on internet explorer. I haven't been using IE I've been using Firefox so why am I getting these spyware warnings?

    A good alternative is "Spybot, Search and Destroy". Evenly good, and free.
    In combination with "AdAware" (from Lavasoft, also free) unbeatable.
