Title: This is embarrassing
Post by: Nick on November 16, 2007, 12:10:39 PM
I mistakenly clicked one on of my spam  emails this morning - it looked genuine and tehre was no unlikely name attached.

It promptly opened up a porn site and now every time I open Explorer the porn site is my homepage!

I have tried changing the settings in the Internet Options dialogue, but I can't get rid of it. Any suggestions?

Run your anti-virus and anti-spyware software to remove it...

Completely. I don't think anyone really rated him before that film. He was very much stuck in his Neighbours role. I don't think he would ever have got out of it either without Priscilla.

Ho Hum!  Open Explorer, select >Tools< and then >Internet Options< from the dropdown menu.

Change the 'Homepage' to something you would rather have as your opening page.

Tip:  select the page you want first and just click on 'Current'.
