To change your homepage in IE (eg. to Yahoo's Home Page):



1. Access Yahoo's Homepage (or the homepage you want)



2. Go to the menubar and click %26lt;TOOLS%26gt; %26lt;INTERNET OPTIONS%26gt;



3. Under the 'General' Tab, you will see homepage and a dialogue box that should contain the MSN homepage URL



4. Click on the %26lt;USE CURRENT%26gt; button and the URL - http://www.yahoo.com/ (or the URL of the homepage you want) will appear in this dialogue box



5. This should reset you homepage to Yahoo (or whatever homepage you choose)

try Microsoft's Windows Defender.



It also has tools that will restore IE to its original state.
There are alot of problems with IE. My suggestion is to change to Firefox browser. It is alot more secure and is also easy to use.



Click here for the Browser

Download Spybot - it is free %26 fantastic.



Run a scan to clear any existing rubbish, the go into Tools, Resident %26 activate the "tea timer". This is an on-guard which prevents things happening. Then go into "IE Tweaks" %26 click on "Locks hosts" to prevent your IE being hijacked.
