Re: Homepage in MSN lost to spyware!?!

Hi mjman,

Lets try a few more things.


Clear IE6 cookies
  1. On the Internet Explorer 6 Tools menu, click Internet Options. The Internet Options box should open to the General tab.
  2. On the General tab, in the Temporary Internet Files section, click the Delete Files button. This will delete all the files that are currently stored in your cache [that includes cookies too].
  3. Click OK, and then click OK again.



Flush DNS

1. Go to start -> run, then type cmd in the textbox and click OK.
2. Type ipconfig /flushdns, then hit the [enter] button on your keyboard. Note: There is a space between the "g" and "/"

There are two options you can choose from if the above instructions didn't fix the problem:

1) Try uninstalling the MSN Browser to see if it fixes the redirect problem, as your system should now be clean.

2) Using a different Browser to connect to the internet. I can give you a few good ones to choose from.
