Outlook 2003 task folder ets redirected/hijaked to web outside web search page

Hi all,

I've been using Outlook 2003 for the last few months.

I've only just started using the tasks in the last week.

I've just discovered yesterday when I move to tasks folder,
that the tasks will display for a few seconds then
the display gets redirected or hijacked to an outside
web search page.

When I return to my Mail folder the same happens again.

I can restart Outlook 2003 and the problem goes away
until I return to tasks.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Barry G. Sumpter

Sounds like you've got some spyware on your computer. Download and install
SpyBot or AdAware and run a spyware check on your computer.

Click to expand...

Right-click on the Tasks folder in the Folder View and click Properties>Home
Page. Clear out the value in the Address field. Download and install
Ad-Aware or Spybot Search and Destroy.
