MSN homepage

[John Peterson]

Since installing Microsoft antispyware my home page has
changed to the msn homepage 5 times.

I'm homing that disallowing this site will stop the
problem.

Perhaps the spyware can add it to it's known bad sites.

Unless you've indicated another preference--and a wizard allow you to do
this should have come up shortly after the install--Microsoft Antispyware
uses the defaults for the operating system as shipped.

Tools, advanced tools, browser hijack restore settings---set the home page
settings--I believe there are two--to your own choice.

The other question, of course, is why is this reset happening with such
frequency?

Try this, in MSAS, go to Advanced Tools > Browser Restore > check your
current homepage and choose change in right hand pane and type in the page
you want to be your home page.

Thank you, changed start page and start page (allusers)
Under start page, (which was still set to msn) for the
default. Changed this to tbaytel which now appears in
writting but get this message when I click on it
(http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dll?

Hmm - when I reconstruct the above link and paste it into a browser, I just
get a standard MSN home page.

Did you construct the tbaytel URL by hand, or cut and paste it from the
browser? I'd try cutting and pasting directly from the correct page as
shown in the browser.
