    Default setting browser homepage

    When I set my browser homepage using "Tools" and "Internet Options" it works ok until I switch off.
    When I switch back on again it always reverts back to "MSN".
    Can anybody help me overcome this please.
    I am using Windows IE7.

    Do you have anything like Norton internet security or ad-aware installed on your computer? I guess the only thing that can keep reverting the setting would be an anti-spyware or anti-virus program.

    Thanks for your help I have NoAdware.Net and when I downloaded IE7 it must have set the homepage in there.
    I have reset my home page in NoAdware and all is ok now.
    Thanks again.

    Yea those Anti-spyware apps do make sure that a spyware does not change your homepage on your browser. Good thing u figured it out.
