Problem Retaining Home Page On Ie

[Postdog]

It wasn't wanted at all, but my home page is now stuck on some Microsoft home page offering me Bing and other Microsoft options. Attempt to change this all fail, as whenever I start up again, this page comes back.

I'm using windows 7 and IE10. I usually find the page I want as my home page (here, Facebook or Google) and change it using the "make current page my home page" option in internet options.

This works while on that session, but whenever I reboot, back comes that other page. How can I get rid for good?

Most people around here (including me) wouldn't touch Internet Explorer with any number of the the proverbial bargepoles. However the usual causes of home pages resetting themselves are as follows:

a) forgetting to click 'Apply' (rather than just 'OK') when changing the home page ;
b) correctly changing the home page but not not changing the start page as well (and then expecting the start page to display the same as the home page - although I'm not sure whether IE actually differentiates between the two anyway, as other browsers do) ; and
c) a browser hijacker taking over your home page. (See below).

Take a look at the URL of the page that keeps coming up. If it includes 'microsoft.com' then it's probably genuine. However if it's something different then you're probably seeing a fake Microsoft page which is there to tempt you into clicking on a dangerous link. If so, download, install and run the free version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to see if it can get rid of the hijacker:

(NB: When installing it, take great care to deselect the pre-ticked option to take a free trial of the Premium version).
Also take a look at your list of installed programs, to check that nothing has recently installed itself without your knowledge.

Got vision problems so can't try anything yet.

Fairly certain it is a genuine msn page though, as I run malware frequently, and I also always click apply.

Will look at your answer properly when I can but ta for answering.

This may help.
Try going to Tools (the wheel at the top right of Internet Explorer page), click manage add-ons, select Search Providers. If you have Bing, disable it. If you want a particular Search Engine, e.g. Google, add it to the search providers. Make sure you tick the box below which reads 'Prevent programs from suggesting changes to my default search provider

You do not need to click Apply as well as OK.
Apply means "apply the changes and leave the dialog open"
OK means "apply the changes and close the dialog".
