Windows Server Forum / Windows NT / Setup / May 2004Virus Corrupted IE
An NT user appears to have taken a virus hit, with her home page having been altered to some porn site. In Internet Explorer Options, the home site edit box is now greyed out when logged in as this user. How do I free the lock on the home page to re-set it to something less controversial? TIA Phil This is probably spyware. There are programs like Spybot and Adware to remove these kind of issues. Sometimes you have to go the website itself to get the uninstaller for this particular program. Sounds like you'll have to login as the administrator to remove.

[quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Phil Thanks Scott But when logged in as the administrator, setting changes made to IE affect the administrator's profile version not the user's. Put more clearly, the administrator's version of IE is not affected. I have managed to get MSN as the home page instead of "SomePorn.com" by using the re-set to default option. But this does not free the lock that is preventing the change to a user preferred home page.

It specifically has a tool for enabling and disabling the Home page, and thus may be able to unlock it. Note that I have no affiliation with the author(s) of the program, I am recommending it as a user, not as the writer {:v) Signature-- Jason Teagle jason@teagster.co.uk |
