Thanks for any and all help

Answer : HIjack of homepage

Hello,

This could be due to the Advanced Toolbar that is installed on your system.  If you do not wish to use it then use teh Add/Remove Programs to remove it and see if that fixes it.

Also have you gone under Internet Explorer Options to set your homepage to what you want?

Tools>Internet Options.

Right in the first box is the option to set the homepage to what you wish.

Cheers,
Mak
