They seem like a legitimate, if annoying, company.

That said, I have not seen a spam with their URI included.

Welcome to www.Default-Homepage-Network.com

This network was designed to help consumers benefit from the use of valuable software without paying any fees.

People who have installed programs like Kazaa and other adware-supported software have received default-homepage-network.com sponsored banners (which are distributed via software-application advertising agencies in accordance with the terms of service agreed upon when software was installed or updated.) These ads, rather than a credit card, pay for the software, keeping it free.

Unfortunately some adware programs bundle with extremely aggressive, often malicious, applications. However default-homepage-network.com is NOT responsible for these activities - though some people mistakingly assuming default-homepage-network.com is somehow connected to such activities.

We strongly recommend that people install an adware/spyware removal program to delete these applications if found bothersome or damaging in any way.

Rest assure that default-homepage-network.com does NOT nor will it EVER download ANY FORM of software on your computer without your EXPLICIT permission. The ONLY setting that default-homepage-network.com configures is default homepage (which it does NOT lock up) and it does so in accordance with the full disclosure of the terms of service displayed below. Default-homepage-network.com also uses banners
