You were correct about that, I am running ZoneAlarm on both machines. Unfortunately the work-around requires a re-boot to avoid the ZoneAlarm service being loaded, so it's just as easy (or annoying) to do a Safe Mode boot to change it. Glad I don't want to do it too often. Thanks for your help.

Voice your opinion (courteously, since I assume that you are using the free version since you can't get around it without rebooting):In either (or both) of these forum:

I sure hope someone can find why ms updates page insists on being the start page, even tho IE shows that Google is the home page. I didn't know you could have a start page different than the home page except thru malware.

As you can see, my sister and I submitted her spybot report, but I can't figure it out, so hope one of you can. zmartha

Martha/Sue:
  1. Please consider attempting to follow the instructions I outlined in the following post several days ago and letting me know the results:
  2. Also, please go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident. Page (scroll) to the bottom of the listing and highlight a portion of the log that covers the period of time since the problem changing the home page started until now. Then right click on the highlight a portion of the log and select Copy (which will copy the highlighted information to the clipboard). Paste the log entries (clipboard) to another post in this thread.

Oh, my sister did do the below directions a couple of days ago, and said the deny of "Full Control" had no check in it, so she didn't have to change a thing there.

Thank you.

Now if you would please provide the Resident log I requested, I think that we can get the problem resolved.

Martha/Sue:

The problem is not "I can't change my homepage back to Google.com …" as originally stated. That finally became apparent when you said "…even tho IE shows that Google is the home page."

I addition to your home page which is actually stored as "Start Page" in the system registry there is another entry named "First Home page" that will, if present, be the first page displayed when you open IE. "First Home page" references a URL that is normally displayed only once and then "First Home page" entry is deleted as soon as that URL has been displayed.

The "First Home page" entry is not being deleted after the URL has been displayed because you are repetitively denying that change to the registry with TeaTimer. This should have been apparent because of the messages issued by Teatimer.

Stop denying the change for the "First Home page" and the Microsoft URL will stop being displayed.

***********************

To fix the problem:
  • Exit all Internet Explorer sessions.
  • Exit TeaTimer:
    • Right click Spybot's TeaTimer System Tray Icon.
    • Click Exit Spybot-S&D Resident.
  • Start Internet Explorer.
  • Exit Internet Explorer.
  • Start Internet Explorer (it should start with Google as the home page).
  • Restart TeaTimer:
    • Using Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy.
    • Double click TeaTimer.exe to start it.
  • Go into TeaTimer's "White & Black List", look for and remove any entry relating to changes for "First Home page" from the "Blocked registry changes". To do this:
    • Right click on the TeaTimer system tray icon and select Settings. This will bring up TeaTimer's "White & Black List". There are four (4) Buttons across the top of the "White & Black List":
      • Allowed processes
      • Blocked processes
      • Allowed registry changes
      • Blocked registry changes

        Note: If you don't see all four buttons, try expanding the window to the right.

    If you find an entry relation to "First Home page", you can delete entries by clicking on the scripted black "X" to the right of the entry and then clicking the "OK" button when you're done. This will in effect make TeaTimer forget what you told it to remember so that during future changes to these items TeaTimer will issue a pop-up dialog rather then just a notification pop-up.

    After removing the above entry, if you get a pop-up dialog for the removal of "First Home page" registry entry do an "Allow change" without the "Remember this decision" option.
