How do I block unauthorized insertion of a default home page?
|
|
|
| Every time I get onto the internet I find that my default
home page has been adjusted from www.msn.com
to "res://iglqz.dll/index.html#96676"
I go into Tools and Internet Options and change it back
to msn.com but during the next web event it is again
changed back to "res://iglqz.dll/index.html#96676"
I have attempted to put this site into "restricted sites"
but it does not work
any suggestiong on what the problem is and what I can do

| well, first you go ask the question in a group related to whatever browser
you are using. this group is for discussing web server security. and if
you don't want to be laughed off those groups, try searching for the dozens
of other posts about home page hijacking.

| Sounds like you have spyware running on your machine that is constantly
changing this value, so start scanning and cleaning your computer. Putting
the site into "restricted sites" is not the proper solution -- "Restricted
sites" refers to website configuration in effect when browsing that certain
website. It is meaningless against something that is running on your
machine and changing browser configuration at-will.
