Homepage

[Kazal]

I have windows 8.1 and until recently BT was my homepage, somehow a couple of weeks ago 'bing' became my homepage and I don't want it, and tried without success to delete it, however now when it appears I get a red warning from my security's site advisor telling me it is a dangerous site and not to go there.
I have tried clicking on 'Make BT your homepage' but a page appears saying 'Your current operating system is not supported'.
Can someone please advise how I get rid of bing and back to BT?

What browser are you using, Kazal?

2 possible cures=

1 do you have an option to revert to Windows 7? If so, back up and try it

2 Windows 10 is coming out shortly, and will be a free "upgrade" - because Win 8 was excreta - back up and try that

So, if you swop to a different browser is it still an issue ?

Just a thought but you have scanned with Malwarebytes haven't you ? Changes to home pages can suggest an infection.

You do not need to resort to reverting to W7 or any other operating system for such a simple problem.

Does this help?

Hc4361The link you show is exactly what I get when I click on 'make BT your homepage' Where do I go from here?
Old Geezer I have done a full scan and there was no problem

Do you follow the 3 step instructions?

[hc4361]

I am running W8.1

I opened IE, clicked on the cog, then 'internet options'.
I opened the 'General' tab then put bt.com in the home page box.
Clicked apply, then ok and that was it.

No problems encountered.

I don't get 3 steps option only the message 'your current operating system is not supported' or am I missing something?

[hc4361]

Have you tried the instructions in my last post?

Many thanks HC4361 you are my saviour. I'm rubbish at anything like this.

No problem, we were all in that boat to begin with
