Homepage

[ColaBoy]

I can't seem to configure the HomePage option in 'Internet Options' any more. The entire box has been greyed out and I cannot change it at all. Why is this and how can I enable the Home Page options again?

This sounds like a browser hi-jacking
You should download
Run HijackThis, click the scan button and then copy and paste the results back here.

It might also be a good idea to download and install CWShedder and a good registry vac program called RegVac. Daniel

I tried to unistall Explorer but I cant seem to. :S

First, you've got two Firewalls running. Disable either Zanda or ZoneAlarm.
Have HiJack This Fix/Remove the following:

Hi guys,

Please ignore me completely if I am barking up the wrong tree, ( I dont really know much about the log files for Hijack_This), but on looking down the list, I noticed the following line

O14 - IERESET.INF: START_PAGE_URL=http://www.blueyonder.co.uk/dial

Doesnt that have anything to do with it?
ColaBoy, Is that the site that is always loading up?

Borogorn

[ColaBoy]

No,that was what I got when I reverted IE to an earlier installed version,Blueyonder used to be my HomePage. This all started when I got an email from Microsoft,it was something to do with their HomePage. It asked me to confirm my location,ie UK,and then language. When I pressed 'OK' it said Error on Page at the bottom of the screen and when ever I pressed HOME it took me back to asking for my location etc again. The homepage become set on 'runonce.'something or other'.

Can't find any trace of Panda to remove.

[ColaBoy]

Wow,thanks Brad. I did what you said and everything works fine,your a star,thanks!
How did you know what the problem was, I thought my IE installation was screwed?

Thanks again though. I really appreciate it!

You might consider downloading , checking for updates and running it on a regular basis, to keep your computer relatively clean of this stuff.
