Hello,
I'm a French newbie here and have a problem of start page with Internet Explorer
I'm unable to change it, it's locked on yahoo.fr….
I saw same problems in forums, but with malwares on the PC, and i'm not sure it's the same for me….
I run Hijackthis :

when fixing those 2 lines, in safe mode.. they come back in the next log…
AdAware saw nothing, Spybot too…
Not a big, problem, yahoo is not like coolwebsearch… but I don't like that…
I'm using Firefox, and no problem on it.
It could come from here :
IExplorer (not Iexplore) was find on my PC, unchecked in Msconfig Start options, and I didn't find it on my PC… It's still unchecked in msconfig…

Thanks for your help

Hello ! I found the reason….. what a shame ! It was only my settings in AD Watch…. they were set to automatic about the registry modifications…… When set on manual, I can accept the new start page in registry… I'm confused fot this !! Thank You anymore ! Zitoon
