155856 2003-06-28 09:37:00 In March when I turned on the computer the Yahoo home page was replaced by another , namely Orbit Explorer. Has Yahoo changed their page or has Orbit Explorer hijacked my computer. Has anyone else had the same experience. I also found other little icons for them. I have removed all cookies relating to them. Now I've found a Folder called Orbit, which I'm certain I didnt create in the programs file. I can only find this if I do a search in the files/documents section as it does not show up on the programs list when I press the start button and go to programs.
I tried to remove but the message said "Cannot delete update. Access denied. The source file maybe in use."
Is this a legitimate program folder for microsoft for something else. does anyone know about this one, please. Thanks

No it is not, I think it is a browser hijacked.
