Hi, Welcome to the WTT forums.
Sorry to hear about the problems with your browser's home page being locked.
This can be caused by malware, and if you want a malware removal expert to analyse your logs then it would be best to go here:
http://forums.whatth...ers_t34502.html
follow the directions carefully and post your logs (not the attachments) and an expert malware fighter will respond to you as soon as possible. Sometimes it's necessary to wait for a response, as the number of folks needing their expert assistance sometimes exceeds the number of trained expert malware fighters available. Never the less be assured they will get to everyone's post as soon as they can.
We don't analyse the logs here on this subforum and you will see that I have edited your post so that folks using a search engine (hopefully!) won't see your own logs in full in this subforum, otherwise we could get submerged, if they choose to post their logs here as well!
Quite often Spybot Search and Destroy, (an excellent program that you have wisely installed on your machine) can be responsible for blocking a change in your home page. (Trying to protect you from the bad guys)
It might be sensible to check this out as its quite easy to fix.
1Open Spybot Search and Destroy
2 Click on Mode
3 Set to advanced
4 Click on Tools
5 Double click on IE Tweaks
Here you will see the tick/checkmark boxes to lock or unlock the homepage
6 Select according to requirements
7 Click apply
Now see how you go...it may just do the trick
Regards

Thanks for pointing me to the right place. I've gone ahead and re-posted my problem and logs there. I apologize for not figuring that out the first time. You can go ahead and close/lock this post if you want to avoid confusion.
