MSNwar Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 When you are done with the two suggested programs you can change your home page to MSN Search.In Internet Explorer, Tools > Internet Options. Type http://www.search.msn.comClick Ok.Close IE and open once more. Some people using AOL have to close AOL and reboot the PC.Your Internet Options applet will look similar to this one ...See the Temporary Internet Files area of the Internet Options applet. To be on the safe side select the two buttons Delete Cookies and Delete Files once in a while to keep things tidy.Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted June 14, 2003 Author Share Posted June 14, 2003 Thanks Spyware prog found out what it was and got rid.A small little program had found its way through IE through a security hole apparently, which allowed programs to install and execute without giving me any warnings or options to download or not.Anyway, MSN search is back.Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
