I had some Spyware that hijacked my start page in IE. Nothing would take it away. Well, I followed some registry removal steps online and it worked!
One of the steps was to change this value:
If you FIND Start Page on XP regedit, they told me to change that value from the spyware file to about:blank. This would set it up for a blank start page. They also said to delete files in system32 and remove a couple more reg entries.
All is good, but I still cant get a home page to stick. I tried editing the Start Page value from about:blank to www.google.com and it works for that browser session, but when you close all IE pages, wait a while and reload IE, its back to about:blank for the start page value.
How can I fix this?
