IE7 first page
I installed IE7 on the wife's PC and when she brings it up it is direct to a page that is not her home page. How do I fix it?
Here is the page
http://www.bizimkizlar.com/
it's not English and doesn't appear to be porn but maybe a dating site anyway it is not what she wishes to see.The Old Guy

Re: IE7 first page
Drag the site you want as homepage from the address bar to the "home" icon.

Re: IE7 first page
Check for spyware/adware... Sounds really fishy.

Re: IE7 first page
Better yet- Try Firefox from mozilla. I switched about 3 months ago. Its got the tab thing going on way before MS did. It works really well and I can't remember more than 2 or 3 sites that didn't work--that's the only time I use IE now.

Re: IE7 first page
I have FireFox on my PC. I just wanted to set my wife's up on IE7 just to compare them.
With FireFox I haven't had a problem except for PC PitStop wouldn't work with it. But I still have IE6 loaded on my machine when things like this pop up.
Thanks guy for your help.The Old Guy

Re: IE7 first page
Seriously, did you find the malware? I'd bet money that you're infected with something. IE isn't going to automatically set your homepage to some Greek pornsite by itself... Originally Posted by kin3

Didn't find any thing.
IE7 takes a little getting use to. I will probably put FireFox on for her.The Old Guy

Re: IE7 first page
Then how do you think that ended up as the homepage? Originally Posted by kin3

Re: IE7 first page
I have no idea. Wish I did have. I will post here if anything else pops up. She is still using IE7 with no problems except the interface.
