Internet Opening Page

[davidanthony]

I normally have Google as my Internet opening page. However after buying a Tomtom and registering on their site, their web site has now planted itself as my opening page which I do not want.
So, into Tools / Internet options and remove tomtom and putting Google again as defaul it ok, but lo-and-behold, the next time my computer is swithced on, Tomtom is there again as my opening page even tho in the Tools / internet options box it shows Google as my default page. Any ideas please. ?
Thanx

Sorry if you have already done this but have yo pressed APPLY after making the change.
You may also find that both pages are entered as the default option

Yes factor, Apply has been clicked then OK

Uninstall (or just disable) the TomTom browser tool bar.

(there probably is a setting in it somewhere to stop it switching your home page back too, if you really want to keep it)

Try to see if the Tom Tom software has a preferences or Settings option you can look for and untick a 'set home page' option.

Or take a look at what starts on set-up and try to remove any tom tom application. There are things you can download to look at start up settings. A good start would be to simply look in the all programs/startup folder.

Failing that you need an ap to stop malware from changing your home page. Not sure what does that now but a web search could help.

Failing that try running malwarebytes. I'd suspect it might spot the offending software and do something about it.

Just checked... if you do want to keep the tool bar (really can't understand why you'd want to...)

There is a little tiny arrow just to the right on the words TomTom GPS on the far left of the toolbar, click on that and the bottom option is toolbar options.... somewhere in there will be a setting about your homepage.

Though I'd just remvoe the whole thing through the control panel.

Thanx Chuck. If I remove from control panel - Add/remove programmes and remove tomtom, I will not be able to access the regular updates for maps etc ?. wil try going through the toolbar suggestion if I can find the same site you obvioulsy have been able to see. So far can not find tomtomgps with a small arrow !?!?! Thanx
