| 36054 | 2002-02-17 12:08:00 | Could somebody please tell me, what does it mean when I open my browser to a homepage that I did not purposely save as the default homepage? I,e: my preferential homepage had changed without my knowledge. And also, what has occured when I find links to websites that I did not put there, in my Favourites Folder?? Signed: Not amused. Need Advice. Thanks. |

| 36056 | 2002-02-17 23:23:00 | ICQ has a bad habit of doing this when adding a new user, or installing or updating the programme. While there is a check box which is buried somewhere which can be unticked to prevent this chances are your kids won't find it and bang welcome to ICQ central each time you start IE. Oddly this doesn't seem to effect opera, my main browser. What page has become your unwanted start page, and who else uses your comp? |

| 36057 | 2002-02-18 09:41:00 | Sorry can't remember the name of the homepages (its happended twice - two different homepages) because I changed the HP immediately. But I do know the sites were advertising and 'lure' sites like 'click here tow in $50,000 in One Day' etc, etc. I'm sure these things happended when I was searching for free clipart and went to a few sites but after a little while abandoned the search because every link I went to had at least 3 pop ups for every page! I should have just stuck with the free downloads at microsoft or links through cnet.com. Haven't used ICQ and rarely access hotmail so yeah. Thanks all the same to both replies. |
