Answer 1

Well, your first word pretty well explains this. You need to uninstall this first. Uninstalling it won't change your home page. Here's how: To reset your home page, while on the internet, click on tools, internet options, and right at the top you'll see Home Page. Put your preferred home page into search. If you are looking at that website when you get into Internet Options, you can click on Current and it will set whatever it sees as the home page.

Answer 2

First you need to know the address to the home page you want to use then go to control Panel then open Internet Options click Generals tab there you will see a white box in there you type the address of your Home page then go to the bottom of that window click apply. So it save that address.

Answer 3

Why don't you open your home page an at the top in your tool bar, open "Tools", open "Internet Options", and change your home page, by deleting the page shown and type in example, "www.yahoo.com or www.msn.com, click on apply and ok.

This should change your home page back your preferred homepage. Or try default.
