Hello. I'm pretty much the novice here but will try to
relay what my problem is; hopefully I can get some help.
For the past few weeks I've been getting a different ie
unwanted homepage when I begin Internet Explorer. Until
this past week I've been able to change the homepage by
clicking on 'internet options' under 'Tools' and retyping
the homepage. Now, however, I cannot get into 'internet
options', getting a notice that this operation cannot be
accessed due to restrictions placed on my computer (home
system, only my family uses it). When I access 'internet
options' via my Control Panel, the homepage area is faded
out, and cannot be altered. I've tried uninstalling and
restalling internet explorer but have been unsuccessful
in rectifying this. I was getting a MSN homepage when I
accessed Internet Explorer but was easily able to go to
my previous homepage via the address area on top of said
MSN homepage - no big deal.
Now, however, another homepage comes up and has some
easily accessible porn sites shown on it; I cannot get
rid of it. I'm still able to access my other sites,
however, by clicking on the top address area, like
before. BUT, for the past few days, whenever I click on
ANYTHING, the wait is 20-30 seconds before I can use my
mouse to click again (ie it freezes). Whatever I click on
WILL be accessed, but now there is this delay; every
time!
I feel all of this must somehow be related. I've run
through Windows Update, pop-up programs, spy-bot, Virus
programs, etc. - in addition to uninstalling/re-
installing Internet Explorer as previously mentioned and
all seems to be ok there. Can anybody help? Thank you so
much.
