I noticed I cannot change my browser home page anymore
and after running SPYBOT I noticed this IE software
called "DEFAULT HOME PAGE - CANNOT CHANGE - software -
other software - Dell community forum_files".

When I go to - TOOls - Internet Options -it says this
operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in
effect on this computer. Contact your system
administrator. Never happened before.
I want to get rid of it...HELP...
 
Thanks. I saved it but no go. When I right click on the
blue E for Explorer and go to properties under the
tab "General", the home page continues to be not
highlighted and not ascessible to change.

First, check if you have enabled the following options in SpyBot:

"Lock IE start page against user changes"
"Lock IE control panel against opening from within IE"

If so, this is the cause.
