You mean it won't let you change your default home page? I had a similar problem once, but it was down to my brother accidentally installing something that had spyware in it that changed all of out IE settings. Do you have adaware or any other spyware eliminating software on your machihne? If not, I suggest getting some and scanning your PC to see if there is anything untoward.
If that's not it then I don't know what to suggest...

Is it fixed? Btw, use the Lavasoft link, that's the one I have used before. I got the other one off google and i have no idea how good/bad it is, everyone seems to use lavasofts adaware.

I had that problem once too. Although I just formatted my hard drive since it needed to be cleaned anyway.

Go gentle on the freeware next time, Buddha. You can always check if a program you want to install is on the list of notorious spyware: www.spywareguide.com/product_list_full.phpAn alternative for Ad-aware is Spybot: look for it here. It's not a bad idea to use both programs: sometimes one of them finds entries that the other one doesn't and vice versa. A bit like with virusscanners. A good alternative for the spyware infested Kazaa is KCeasy. Searches through three networks: OpenFT, FastTrack (this is the one used by Kazaa) and Gnutella. Best bit: no spyware and ads. www.kceasy.com |
