can't reset my IE Homepage!?

Question

just recently can not reset my IE explorer homepage. Always defaulting to "ie.redirect.hp.com......" and I am getting AOL or MSN. Have tried resetting using "Internet Option" but it will not stick. Any suggestions? Ready to throw this HP out the window!

Answer 1

Try to reset the IE :

Tools----- Internet Options -------- Advanced -------- Reset ;)

Answer 2

You probably have some spyware called hijackers. They basically hijack your IE homepage and set it to w/e they want.



Download Ad-Aware from downloads.com and do a full scan. Restart your computer after the scan and try changing your homepage again.



Hope this helps!

Have a good day.

Try another browser like firefox http://securitynewsfromthenet.blogspot.com/

or opera http://www.opera.com/download/



If you have not already scanned your comp with spybot http://securitynewsfromthenet.blogspot.com/2007/03/spybot-search-and-destroy-spyware-and.html do that now .Update it (Latest updates 28-3-2007) and then run it so it gets rid of all the spyware and trojans in safe mode
