• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.

    We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

Confirmation Box

So I had a Browser Virus and I was in internet properties changing the homepage URL. I hit apply and I got a confirmation box saying the homepage was trying to be changed and I accidently hit the check mark that keeps you from getting the confirmation box or something. Now I cant change my homepage to anything else. How do I get that confirmation box to pop back up?

Hello,

Change your start page:
Please run Spybot - Search & Destroy and switch to the Advanced mode via the menu item Mode.
Now select 'Tools' - 'Browser pages' from the navigation bar on the left.
There, please search for the entry with the unwanted starting pages.
Mark it and click "Change" (in the bar at the top).
Then type your wanted starting page like www.google.de or perhaps about:blank.
Now go to 'Tools'->'IE Tweaks'. There you'll see a group of Recommended miscellaneous locks.
Untick the checkboxes in front of both Lock IE... options.
You may need to close all Explorer windows, and maybe even restart Windows before these changes take place.

Best regards
