aclarke_31 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Might not be a virus that's causing this. Download some anti-spam software and check its not a spyware hijacker thats taking control of IE7. "Adware Anti-Spam" is good for tracking this kind of thing. If you know what you doing, you could always use "HiJack This". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyAndyK Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 First scan for malware, using AntiVirus and also AntiSpy. Then use CCleaner to clear PC junk. Reboot. Next: Open Regedit and navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\DefaultPrefix Now, in the RHS, double click the Key "(Default)" and ensure that its value is set as: http:// If not, then change its value to : http:// Next, navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\Prefixes Again, in the RHS, double-click the key "www" and ensure that its value is set as: http:// If not, then change its value to http:// Click OK. Exit Regedit. Reboot. Now try to set the home page, and see if it has helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
