I use Firefox (latest version) as my browser.  I usually have as my home page my Hotmail acct.  Recently I have this link appearing (see below) and McAfee sends a warning about this being a dangerous site to visit.  I have tried to change the Homepage back to either Firefox or Hotmail but still the above appears. I have delete everything I can find which refers to this site. Using IE this Homepage does not appear and I can choose whatever one I like.  Is this link built into Firefox or is it a rogue site?  Either way I would like to get rid of it and go back to my usual Homepage.

Wisz, thanks for that link.  Tried some of the sites listed in Google but didn't seem to work.  I have restored my system back to the 19th May and so far I sem to be lucky.
