I always set my browser homepage on the about:blank
setting. Suddenly instead I get this "web site directory"
every time I click on my IE. In the address field it
still says "about:blank." I go under tools/internet
options/home page and it still says "about:blank". I try
to change it to any other home page -- for example, my
ISP's home page -- and it automatically defaults back to
this unwanted "web site directory" and "about:blank."
what I want is a blank page. I do NOT want this website
directory, or anything else either. My ISP said it it was
a browser hijack and may be a program running in
background and suggested I look in add/remove programs
for a suspicious stranger, but I saw none. I just ran all
my diagnosics -- Norton AntiVirus, Ad-Aware, WinDoctor,
Disk Doctor, Speed Disk -- cleaned out a lot of junk but
this "web site directory" is still there. There is
nothing on this page that indicates source. Right-click
does nothing. How do I get rid of this thing???
