Hi,

I have Windows 8.1 and have changed the home page to be nine.msn.com.

However each time I close IE and reopen, again I get the msn.com homepage , no matter what I do and try I cant seem to get rid of it.

I have used Norton Internet Security, Super AntiSpyware, Ad-Aware, SpyBot, all come back with no problem apart from cookies.

That link seems it cannot be changed, each time I press Apply and Ok to accept the new homepage, I keep getting my nine,msn. com disappearing and the above link is back again. 16 times already.

Anyone got a solution as to how I can resolve this apart from a clean or windows image backup install?

I'm at my wits end.

Thanks in advance

I have search a similar topic in this forum. I followed the advice given in that thread and none of that advice resolves my issue.

Does anyone have any suggestions or is this a case of "too hard basket"?

I'm not familiar with the website, however shouldn't it be Untitled-1.png (no dot between nine and msn).

I expect nine.msn.com resolves to msn.com because it isn't a valid subdomain of msn.com

Hi ARC1020,

Yes, you are correct, I did realise the error in the address, I had corrected the spelling but still defaults back to standard msn.com

Hello Brink,
Thanks for replying,
A good question, I'm not sure if I have any additional toolbars unless I have placed a tick in the box on something I've downloaded and installed.

My pc was working good and had no homepage issues until I installed a cracked version of Minitab v17.2.1 , that's when I noticed the homepage was changed and that msn.com too over. it still had the Microsoft address in the internet explorer homepage . I deleted that and changed it then pressed Apply and OK buttons, closed internet explorer and it reverted back to what it was previously.

Yes, I did read that Tutorial, I did follow it through but still no joy.

You might see if doing a system restore using a restore point dated before you did this may help.

Hi Brink,

I could try a System Restore and see what happens. I've only just done a back up image 3 or 4 days ago. Hope there has been a system restore point created before things went pear shaped. I'll let you know how it went.

Cheers, Bondy99

Hi Brink,

I done a system restore, good and bad result, good result is the problem has been resolved. I have managed to successfully set the homepage as to what it was suppose to be , The bad result is the system restore took all of the software I installed, Easy enough to put back on but time consuming.

Currently trying to download all updates , unfortunately I don't have direct broadband connection, only wireless broadband...pain in the neck where I am.....instead of having the rectangular progression bar showing percentage of download amount, it goes from that to Preparing to install bar, like for 2 hours, nothing has downloaded or installed.

At least the original problem has been sorted.

Thanks for your help and advice.

Cheers, Bondy99

I'm happy to hear that your original issue is now sorted, but I hope it doesn't take you too long install everything.

Has anyone figured out why it does this, is it Virus or Malware or Hijacked.
