I have been to many vista forums,can't keep track.not ure if I had posted here before. my problem is IE 7.the biggest problem is when i close out of a web page via the back button , my IE 7 starts to load about blank and google pages as fast as task manager can close them. i have changed every setting from every forum ,some were so complicated,with all the exe. files etc,etc,. it still happens, even with IE 7 not running .it will open up any way. now a new problem is I reset the default settings and there is an aol home ,page. I did not make it my home page and re-setting to default, it is still there. it will not go away. and I have disabled add-ons still all these probs persist. I have yet to try the DEP route. I am not comfortable with messing with that. any ideas for a not too technical fix?? -- tcseacliff |

1. Ok, I read my own post and thought of the 'real' first step. Reset all the IE7 defaults in Internet Options->Advanced.. NB: this will remove any customization you've made for bank sites, game sites, certificates, etc. 2. Cleaning out AOL entries is a pesky business. It took me a while. Try the Microsoft Uninstall Cleanup utility and look for AOL entries. Please read the warnings, because this utility is dangerous. Do a backup first, or at least create a restore point before starting. Remember, a restore point will bring back anything you've saved on it, including malware. Don't restore to a point before MS updates unless you're desperate. I haven't seen this work anyway. 3. Then do a thorough malware cleaning. - try Superantispyware. I don't like the program on my system, so I remove it after, but it does a good job on infected machines, unless the system is unusable. good luck!
