Is is just me or...
Just tonight my computer has started behaving oddly. When I type Yahoo! UK & Ireland into the address bar it brings me to google.com and when I click on my home button it brings me into some mozilla firefox incomplete page instead of google.co.uk, like it used to. So is it a problem with my computer, firefox or the internet?
Cheers |

Select Internet Options in your control panel and put the URL that you want as homepage in the box provided..........That should cure it.

Re: Is is just me or...
Its probably malware or adware redirecting you to a homepage of their choice, see if you can pick it up with virus scan but you are more likely to need malware and adware removal tools, it will be hiding in the registry somewhere....
Hope this helps. Cheers Lee |

Seems to have mended itself now but I'll run some scans to be on the safe side. Thanks for the advice
