Whoa! This site just tried to change my homepage to www.online-literature.com without even asking me. I found out when Microsoft Anti-Spyware program displayed an alert asking if I wanted to block it.

Changing homepage URL without permission is a definite no-no. When was this added and why?

If you use Internet Explorer, here's how to change your homepage to this site:

Go to toolbar at top of browser. Click Internet Options and open General. In address space type in http://www.online-literature.com and click OK.

That's it.

You probably accidentally clicked something. Some button combinations can do some crazy things. There is no code anywhere on the site to do that type of thing automatically.
