Publisher's description of StartPage Guard
From Piotr J. Walczak: Malicious programs (viruses, Trojan horses) sometimes change your start page to invade your privacy and collect personal information. In some cases this activity may be totally transparent to the user. SPG effectively deals with all these problems, making surfing the Net safer, more secure, less frustrating--and more fun. StartPage Guard detects and prevents any unauthorized changes to your browser's start and sSearch pages. It also can automatically remove most known invaders.

Editor's review of StartPage Guard
This program may lack a wealth of features, but it's extremely effective in protecting your computer against home-page hijacking. StartPage Guard uses a simple but functional interface to prevent Trojan horses or other malicious programs from making unauthorized changes to your browser's start and search pages. Options include the ability to select your home page from a drop-down menu or input a URL of your choice. The SearchPage Guard feature lets you designate separate URLs for your default search page, search toolbar, and search assistant. Users also can set one URL in the Single Address field to cover all search functions. This simple but useful program is designed for all users who want to outsmart malicious programs that hijack start and search pages.
