Anti Spyware hijacks my Internet Explorer homepage

Every morning when I start Internet Explorer my
start/home page is set to MSN.com. I reset the start/home
page to my favorite, and it will come up for the whole
day, even if I exit & restart Internet Explorer numerous
times. However, overnight (when Anti Spyware runs) it
resets my start/home page to MSN.com again. Does anyone
have a fix for this?

Well, MSN can be a real hijacker.......... They really
wants us.

Open MSAS and Advanced tools, Browser restore.

Try to change your restore setting to your favorite.

It worked!

I don't mind being wanted, but I like to have something
to say about it. :-)

Thanks much.

Save it for something tha matters. The fact is, they have to pick SOMETHING
for the defaults. They've chosen to use the defaults for the OS as
originally installed. On an OEM box, this can be something other than MSN
(say, Dell-branded MSN )

They didn't pick something new to shove down our throats. I think this is
logical--what would you suggest?

Yes, sell MSN and be a free great software company.

Maybe AOL wants to by this rubbish.

MS is on a border line about MSN and spyware.

The point is, MSN Explorer should be free to everyone. How I wish could use
versions 8 to 9, I'm stuck with 7.
