    Cool IE Homepage controled by Google

    For some reason, under Internet Options in IE, it always reverts back to WWW.Google.com no matter how many times I change it to WWW.Bing.com. Can you provide assistance.

    Thanks for any help.

    Did you try the instructions here? ---> http://www.bing.com/set/homepage

    If so please provide more details.

    IE Version
    The operating system
    Security programs installed
    Any issues with the computer's performance

    Best regards.

    Default IE Homepage controled by Google

    Tashi,
    Yes I tried those instructions and IE still opens with google as my home page.
    IE Version-9
    The operating system*Win7 Home edition
    Security programs installed-Norton, Spybot Free edition
    Any issues with the computer's performance-No works great except for IE always returning to google.

    I have installed Firefox as a browser and have no problems with it. It always opens with Bing.

    Thanks
    John

    Hi John,

    I looked for the same problem being reported but often the user is asking how to make Google default so not much help there.

    At this time it does appear to be a browser issue though so before tackling it as an infection please go to What The Tech and register, it's free.

    Then post for assistance in this forum: Browsers, Internet and email

    Please provide a link back to this topic, thanks, I will follow your topic over there and see how it goes.

    Best regards,
