    The last 2 days whenever I open my IE 7 browser instead of going to my google homepage it goes to microsoft IE 7 "get it now " page. I already have IE 7 its just annoying to get it off the screen I have to click "home" which then takes me to google.
    .
    I must of done something but I dont know what. It didnt do this till 2 days ago. Have I accidently permitted a change and how do I fix it.
    .
    Any help would be good thanks.

    Hi Halo,
    I found where my computer automatically stores my "Arovax Shield" logs. Which in my case is in "My Documents".
    .
    I went through the logs and found an entry where "first page" parameters had been changed for Internet Explorer at the exact time and date I first had the problem.
    The log recorded the registry key.
    .
    I then went to, start + run + regedit.
    Followed what the log said to the right registry key.
    Deleted it..
    .
    Ran registry cleaner to tidy any loose ends.
    .
    End of problem, puter is back to running smooth as a babies bum.
    .
    Hope that all helps someone,
    Mark
