Can't change home page

eknirb · 04-14-2008

It is on Yahoo. I want to change it, and when I set it to something else..it stays on Yahoo. Why might this be?

Hi Eknirb,

Do you have a 3rd party security program installed that has a feature that prevents the changing of the IE7 Home Page? If so you will need to temporarily allow this action in that program's settings.

EX: Spybot Search & Destroy, etc....

Hope this helps,
Shawn

no, i don't. but i just booted up PC this AM, and it's back to normal. Ah, the wonders of Windows.

Eknirb,

I'm glad that it is back to normal. I would recommend that you run a fulll antivirus and anti-spyware scans just to be safe in case it wasn't just a fluke.
