Why does my homepage change for no reason? Is it a virus? How can I make it go away?

You should use both the mentioned before, Adaware and Spybot: S&D. Then manually change it back to yahoo.\n\nFor protection in the future use: Firefox, Spyware Blaster, Windows Defender, ZoneAlarm Personal Firewall.

from any internet explorer window...go to tools....internet options..right there you can type in a new webpage for a homepage. If that doesn't change it then you have a virus and you need to get it checked out

Have you downloaded something like messenger or the toolbar after you reset the home page? Because those things often reset it. Try going again to Tools>Internet Options>and erase www.yahoo.com from the home page box and type in whatever you want.

There are several viruses and browser hijackers that will set your homepage to blank. I'm not sure why they do it, some sort of obscure vulnerability I'm sure, but anyway I'd recommend running a good anti-spy AND anti-virus, and then try to set it again. Viruses and spyware are the only things I know of that will cause this to happen over and over.

what operating system are they both running? has it worked before? Were there any recent system changes? I'm thinking it might be a difference in the configuration and all...but I'm not really sure. I need more information to determine the problem.\n\nactually...if it's only certain webpages and all and you've already been there before...it might very well be that those pages are cached (temporarily stored on your hard drive), in that instance...instead of going online to the page, it simply loads from your hard drive instead.\n\ndo a virus scan. also check your firewall settings on that computer. hope that helps

You probably have a spyware on you comp. or you dont have enough rights to do it, like  if you're using it in school, or probalby you have a home page protection software which wont let you change your homepage.

Without knowing your operating system, it's impossible even to suggest some trial & error solutions.\n\nIn any case...\n\nYou might have turned on what is called "Active Desktop".\n\nRight click on your Desktop ( Not on your wall paper ).  If you do it correctly, you may see something like "Show Web Content" menu item in your Context Menu. UnCheck it, if it's checked already.  Also see whether "My Current Home Page" item is checked. If so, uncheck that too...\n\nOnly if "Show Web Content" is checked in the first place, You will even see the other options.\n\nAnyways, play with this and let me know if it worked.\nExhaust all options before venturing into Reinstallation...especially if you have WindowsXP\n\nGood Luck

Go to tools then internet options, change your homepage in that address bar.\n\nDo you see File...Edit...View...etc?\n\nGo to Tools there.

I recommend you go to Tools->Internet Options->Advanced Tab and click the Reset button which disables all add-ons, changed settings, deletes all temporary files, and home pages. Read the notice screen so you can see what will be changed as a result of going back to default. This should help you with the problem since you were able to get to the site once before without any problems.
