I just reconfigured my computer due to a virus which I caught while in between antivirus programs. Now my IE refuses to allow me to remove Yahoo as my first homepage. I know how to make this change in IE in the Tools menu. It allows me to add additional homepages, but whenever I try to change my first homepage to Google, Pandora or just blank, it just ignores the change as if it never happened. The same goes for when I use the link on the bottom of google to add it as my homepage. I can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Something simple you might try is this.....

start>all programs>accesories>system tools>disk clean up

leave everything checked that is and hit ok.

This is good for browser redirecting, and this type of thing.

Hope this helps.
