Some virus/program changed my Internet Explorer in a way it always start in a page called "search the web", though the adress bar shows "about:blank". I change at the preferences, but it changes again, and it starts in this page all over again.
Any idea what to do?
This is a trojan that hijacks Internet Explorer start and search settings to one of several different web sites. There's a tool named CWShredder that removes this parasite. Make certain that all browser and folder windows are closed before using it. Download this tool from http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/CWShredder.exe.
Now stop going to porn sites or your computer will be infected again. :D
Or better, use Opera to surf porn! 
When some crap tries to force the browser, Opera simply crashes! :)
Well, at least it doesn't allow their bugs to work... Opera has a very strict rendering of Javascript, that's why it doesn't accept that stuff... while Internet Explorer just gets everything, good or bad...
Proof: visited a site on Opera, say 5 or 6 times... nothing happened (except a crash, of the browser only, not of the whole system, a couple of times). Dared to visit it on IE once, and got the same virus. It could also give you error messages on desktop when your system starts. Luckily the connection still worked and Google did his job, I found the same remedy and worked, the virus is a well known old trick and one of the less dangerous... Anyway went back with Opera to confirm my suspects and once again that virus couldn't get through, apparently it's conceived to go through IE's faults only...

Actually, I have no idea from where did this come 
Yes, but it's just placed into the toolbar, I don't ever notice it, it's just like having the larger toolbar in IE. Also the ads are always the usual half dozen, so they don't take time to load because you've got already them in your memory. The real problem of Opera, like Mozilla, is how they render, or even fail to render, code that's not standard-compliant. It just means you can't see every site on those browsers, or you see some all messed up or not like the author meant anyway. It's the author's fault, but the result for you, the visitor, is you can't see the site as you should... Well, you can always use all three on different sites...

"The only bookmark you need".
:D
This is a really different link: I don't like pornstars so much, they look so fake, it's just like music, there's commercial stuff and there's indie, DIY, genuine amateur stuff. J and J are a Dutch couple and in these pages they collect (warning: hardcore) pictures taken from amateur sites, and they have taken some of the best, I think. Sure, many aren't really beautiful (they are all mixed so they're a lot varied), many aren't even really amateur, but often you see real stuff and see common people have much more fantasy and sense of humour and fun than actors.
normally works :D
