| 798819 | 2009-08-06 10:29:00 | After a new windows install I find MSN installed as the home page in IE. I cannot replace it as it just replaces itself if I type in anything else. I want google as my home page. Any ideas on how to cure this? David | DavidW (532) | ||
| 798820 | 2009-08-06 10:35:00 | Have you changed the default home page to google under IE > Internet Options? | ronyville (10611) | ||
| 798821 | 2009-08-06 10:41:00 | Yes Anything I type in just gets changed back to MSN | DavidW (532) | ||

| 798823 | 2009-08-06 11:08:00 | An interesting article smurf. But I don't think I have a hyjacker. Just MSN that I don't want. I can't see MSN in the add /remove programs or I would remove it. | DavidW (532) | ||
| 798824 | 2009-08-06 11:12:00 | So what did you install before it hijacked the browser? Scan with malwarebytes. Close the browser before you do the scan | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

Type the home page you want into the address bar and refresh page so you are looking at the home page you want, then click tools, Internet options, and under the General tab click use current. |
