Homepage hijacked by MSN

I am running XP-Home (SP2) and IE6. All have current updates. My problem is that I can NOT get IE6 to accept any homepage other than MSN. Every time I change the homepage, it will return to MSN as soon as I reopen IE6. I've checked every menu I can think of, but cannot find anything that locks MSN as the homepage. I know this isn't as bad a being hijacked by "The Legion of Doom ", but it is annoying!

 

Go to the page you want to set as your homepage in Internet Explorer, then click on Tools>Internet Options>General tab and click on the "Use Current" button, click OK to close Internet Options and save the changes you made.

If you prefer IE to open to a blank page, click the "Use Blank" button, click OK to close.

 

Miz, thanks for your reply. I had done that already. The homepage would still REVERT BACK to MSN. Here's where I feel stupid. I solved this problem this morning. What happened was that in Ad-Watch, I had checked the "Block possible browser hijack attempts" button. I realized this and "deactivated" Ad-Watch. What I didn't realize was that the browser homepage was still locked even though Ad-Watch was "deactivated ". I had to actually "unload" Ad-Watch. Then my browser homepage was free to be changed. And if I "reloaded" Ad-Watch, it would now protect my new homepage. One giant DUH!!! Thanks for the help though!

 

Hey, we all have those momentary lapses. Glad you got it sorted out and thanks for posting back to let us know.
