    Returning MSN Home page
    All of a sudden MSN became my Home Page. I don't want that for a home page. I have gone to tools, Internet options, entered my normal home page address, apply, OK. As soon as I go out of Internet Options, it goes back to MSN Home page. I have also done the remove Home page and the same things still happens. Using
    Windows 7 Professional Edition. How do I get rid of MSN Home page for good?

    Try first using about:blank as your home page and see if it goes away.

    If it will not accept the change then you either have an application or plugin installed that's doing it or perhaps spyware. Check in your addons (tools > manage addons) see if you have any tool bars installed. Tool bars are notorious for this kind of stuff. A lot of times when your installing something, even freeware, the default install (recommended) will include things you do not want. Always choose the custom install so you can UN-check the crap-ware that comes with so many things these days.

    I think you are correct. Somehow, I got it fixed. I'm not sure what I did to fix it. I did check a couple of utility programs and found one that did have a box checked that was supposed to protect changes to my home page. That program has been on my computer for several months and nothing had happened before. May have come from an update. Thanks for your replies.
