Has anyone been having trouble setting their home page in
the past few days. No offense, but I do not like MSN
explorer as my home page, but no matter what I do I cannot
set my home page for what I like. Any ideas or fixes. I
thought of running system restore to see if this will fix
it. I DID NOT set MSN as my home page at any time.

What happens when you try to change your home page?
Error message? Changes back by itself?
Are you using Internet Explorer or MSN explorer?

First eliminate any scumware.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.
