home page defaults to msn.com

[Guest]

After I change the home page, when I open IE it always reverts back to
msn.com, I cannot find the setting to stop this, please help.

Internet Options,
Change the home page in there and adon't forget to click 'Apply'

Hi lmur

You don't tell us the version of Windows you are using, but, try the
information below to see if it helps:

Go to http://www.fjsmjs.com/IE/homepage.htm
Scroll down to the section on registry keys

also..

Home page setting changes unexpectedly, or you cannot change your home page
settings:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;320159

If still no joy, then go to "Dealing with Unwanted Spyware and Parasites"
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

Hope this helps.

Windows version?

What anti-malware applications are you using (e.g., SpywareBlaster, Spybot)?

Hi lmur

Locked out of IE Options -

If you use Spybot S&D, open Spybot in Advanced mode and check the Immunize
settings. You may have placed this restriction inadvertently.

If not ... go to Dealing with Unwanted Spyware and Parasites:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm
Scroll to "Various Registry Fixes" to find a REG file which should unlock
Internet
Options for you.

Hope this helps.

I've done that, I change hompe page at Internet Options, click apply, close
window, reopen and it reverts to msn.com. Evertime I open IE it wants to
know my country, language and to choose msn.com as home page or keep
existing, I choose keep existing and I still get msn.com. When I open IE, I
get the following - http://runonce.msn.com/en/runonce.asp - every time.
Please help, thanks.

Disable Ad-aware's Ad-watch, make the change, then re-enable it.
(SpySweeper may have a similar block on homepage changes but I don't use it
so...)
