seems you had a very clean browser …AdwCleaner found no crap

have you checked microsoft forum in case this issue is reported there?

No I have not! What about a keylogger?

if you want essexboy to have a look inside, then attach a OTL log …not copy and paste

I have been at this problem for sometime. I like for my homepage to be Google. But no matter what I do it goes back to MSN!
I worked on this problem for 3 hours yesterday. It always goes back to MSN. I searched the net yesterday and found this.
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie9-windows_7/how-do-i-eliminate-bing-from-hijacking-my-browser/ae9ba484-076e-454a-b47e-586df2987242 I scrolled the page and applyed the fix. Thought all right,fixed! Went off and about on my way playing my online games,turned pc off,log back on about 1hour 1/2 now and am back to the same problem. No matter what I do MSN is my homepage. Called my brother today he said sound like you need to uninstall IE9, I uninstalled IE9,rebooted. Well its back to IE8 and its still the same thing,can not set Google for my homepage! Does anyone have any ideal as to why that is? I am out of answer!

How I tryed to set homepage!
internet options
type in box www.google.com
apply and then ok!

Number 2#
Find google address in search bar
Go to little house icon
Hit the little arrow next to the house icon
Add or change home page
Use this webpage as your only home page

Any ideal on to what going on here would help! Thanks!
