My Internet Explorer wont let me change my homepage someone please help?

Question

I have tried many things I even tried to reinstall Internet Explorer

Answer 1

Above you Internet explorer there should be some menus. Go to Tools > internet options > general   and in there you will find the place your current home page is written. Now erase that and type in your new home page and you should be fine.

Of course dont forget to click on apply after you type your new home page adress.

If that doesnt do it, there should be a software on your computer that is changing the address back. It is usually something related to the homepage. For exmaple yahoo has that too. Its called yahoo search protection. Any ways if the site is one of those sites that have viruses on them it could be something that was downloaded to your computer. So yeah it could be a viruse , trojan or spyware.

You are left with some choices if that is the case.

1) system restore ( i doubt it will give you a result if it is a virus)

2) Get a virus scanner. I have Mcafee, but you have to pay for that. For a free virus scanner you can try AVG which is free and download it from download.com

3) If the above two doesnt work then you can reinstall your OS. This is the best way but at the same time most time consuming one since you have to reinstall all your softwares.

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

The most easy way that works for me is:

If I wanna switch to say MSN or BellSouth or AT&T..I go to that website,login & there is a place at top on each of those pages/websites that say "Make (exp) this/MSN/AT&T (etc) your homepage.Click on it & its done.

Answer 5

Go to your internet properties and to do that you have to click on the start menu and right click on the internet icon and click on internet properties... then type in the site that you want to be your home page in the home page box... it should be very close to the top... hope I helped...
