Answer 1

Use google instead - its the new Yahoo!

Answer 2

Go to the desktop, and right click on an empty space. From the drop down click on properties, and click on screen saver. Find the screen saver you downloaded from freeze.com and right click on it to delete it. Now go back to your desktop, and click on start, settings, and click on Internet options. From this you should be able to manually replace the home page with the one you want. It could also have something to do with your security settings and you not being logged in as the administrator. Only the administrator can change some settings or access the area you need to go to make these changes. Have Fun!

Answer 3

If you tried already through Internet Options and it didn't work, you'll probably have to remove the program you installed for the screensaver (Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs....). After you remove it, restart and try again.

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

Try going to Start- Control Panel then double-click Internet Options. In the General Tab type in the address you want to use for your homepage. Click Apply then Ok. You may need to restart for this to take effect.

Answer 7

I agree. Run antispyware (ad-aware by lavasoft, for example). If you can, manually unistall the screensaver software. If that fails, there's a registry fix. E-mail me at [e-mail] and I'll e-mail the walk-through.

Answer 8

You have got some spyware installed in your system. Going forward use firefox for additional safety.
For now, use yahoo anti-spyware to scan your computer & remove adware/spyware.
