Homepage is a different website each time I start up, not the one I originally set.

For about a week now, my Firebox browser starts up with a different website every time instead of Google that I originally set it too. Everything from program updates that I know are fake to porn website advertisements. I'm worried that it might be a virus or something but nothing else is wrong and my computer scanner says there's nothing there, just the homepage that changes each time I start up. I doesn't do it when I open a new tab, it's only with start up. I've tried changing the homepage but it keeps doing it.

Sounds that you have caught some malware.

Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.

Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.

Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

You can also do a check for a rootkit infection with TDSSKiller.
