Where else is the details of your home page storeed on the computer??

I keep changing it on IE opions but it always flips back to what it was...

by the way the home page is http://www.p45rant.com/boards/index.php

i have deleted all the cookies and done a ad-ware scan

:divil:

you might want to google for a tool called crap cleaner (not joking ccleaner), it's good an verifying that all cookies and muck are off your machine.

what site is it switching to?

[Little Imp]

The page linked in Robbie's post above you, laddy.

[Captain Sterling]

That's the page it's returning to?

[Little Imp]

Yes. He says he can't change it to anything else, apparently.

[scruff monkey]

erm.. try running regedit and do a search for that page, change all occurances to the page you want as the start, worth a shot

Its in internet options, but there a lot of ways to change it. Download hijack this and run a scan and log. Post the log here if you are clueless what to do.

[ArseBurger]

If you run Spybot Search & Destroy it'll block manual attempts to change it.

There's a ton of easier shite to do as stated above
If we knew what it was returning to we might be able to help ya more

Is this a work PC? your admin might have a rule running that resets the homepage.

nope home computer

run CCleaner on the PC
Just check the internet explorer/firefox options (it can be a bit iffy if you are unsure of what it does)
I wouldnt say its spyware (unless Bus has turned evil)
Its more than likely a cookie issue

er my first post. . . . .

i have deleted all the cookies and done a ad-ware scan

its why i asked about where else the details might be stored as i have already exhausted the cooike and spyware option.

[johnny_coffee]

CCleaner does a bit more indepth than the standard Delete cookies option on IE

or even better post up a HiJack this log and I'll/someone else will have a gawk

take a look at the steps suggested here - http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=320159

surprisingly helpful Microsoft support posting on the subject of IE homepage getting set in the registry so you can't "un-set it" easily yourself and how to fix it.
