address redirecting

[Brian]

When IE opens the web page for Yahoo.com is dislplayed. It
does not matter what the default address is set to. Any
address that is typed into the address bar is redirected
to Yahoo. I have to use the search option to get to the
site I want. The only time I can get directly to a site is
by clicking on one in My Favorites. If I reset the brower
setting to original defaults, then hit the home page
button I will go to MSN. com, but after that all addresses
are rediercted to Yahoo. Any help will be appreciated.
