The computer has Norton Internet Security 2006 installed, XP SP2, and I downloaded and installed the Service Pack for Internet Explorer 7
No matter what I do, which method I use, I cannot change the homepage from MSN.com to my choice.
After I enter a change, I look again at Internet Options, and the same lousy thing is in the box:
http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dll?prd=ie&clcid=0x409&pver=6.0&ar=home
I have even used Regedit to repace the starup page manually, but the URL above always appears.
I ran Norton Antivirus in Safe Mode. Norton is up to date. Norton did not find anythings.
IF this is related at all, I was unable to download Trend Micro Housecall, either from IE or Firefox. Housecall stops downloading about 1/2 way throught the thermometer bar.
