ok this sucks......?

Question

tried the web site...videocodezone, suggested by Wendy,
and now this thing is comeing up as my home page! anyone know how to fix this? When I first go into the internet this site comes up instead of yahoo. someone please help!

Answer 1

looks like videocodezone used some code (javascript, flash actionscript or an active x control) to make itself your homepage.

1) you might need some kind of antispyware like Norton, panda or zonealarm. That kind of thing happened to me before, and zone alarm fixed it (avg sucks)

2) as the other people suggested, you could go into options and change settings for your homepage.

3) before going to a previous configuration, you may have to install some problem programs, such as avg (if you're unfortunate enough to have it) or the gimp. Hopefully, it won't get that far.

avoid that website again. Wendy might be a nice girl, but perhaps she's not a specialist on Trojans and spyware.

Answer 2

What do you use? If you use Internet Explorer, go to Tools > Internet Options then in the General tab, type in http://www.yahoo.com in the space on the Home page.

If you use FireFox, then go to Tools > Options then in the Main section, type in http://www.yahoo.com in the Home Page field.

I can't help you if you're using other than IE and FireFox. If this doesn't solve the problem, then there's probably a spyware in your computer that keeps changing the home page.

Answer 3

In your internet options (Tools - Options) there is an option there to specify which Homepage you would like to access once your browser starts up. Type the address (in your case www.yahoo.com) so that everytime your browser starts, you would be directed to the website of your choice.

Answer 4

Go to internet options and change your homepage back to www.yahoo.com clear all history and all temp files too.

Answer 5

Use your windows and restore to an earlier date.
