Anyone knowwhat this is???

My home page has been changed to google.huddi.com.

I have tried searching google.co.uk but there is very little about it on the web (only 3 english pages) and avg and windows defender come up blank.

I am using vista and avg-free both updated to latest.

thanks in advance for help

I had that happen to me on a previous install of Vista - i think it came when I was trying out loads of software to decide which was best, I changed it once and never got it back, but I wasn't keeping that install.

I couldn't tell you what software caused it. Only that when I googled there was a French forum thread on it that contained the words HijackThis. So it looks like it was a hijacker program. Spybot S&D turned up nothing for me iirc as well.

HiJackThis is a great app to get rid of stuff like this. It tells you stuff like toolbars and startup items etc. so you can stop the malware/virus.

Which is why I said it's probably a hijacker changed the browser page. I didn't run HT on my system when that came up in my browser though, so can't confirm but it did seem like a hijacking.
