Home page

[Guest]

I have set my home page to bbc.co.uk/news. Quite often when I log on, my
home page is changed to that for "Search the Web" and I have to reset my
original home page. Also, I seem to be getting a number of icons installed
onto my desktop such as "travel", "games", "online casino" etc. which I think
originate from "Search the Web". How can I stop this?
