Hi,

Hope someone can help.

When I turn on my pc as soon as everything has loaded, internet explorer starts itself and loads my homepage.

How can I stop IE starting up when I turn my pc on ?

Cheers

Click START then PROGRAMS then look in the STARTUP folder.

If IE is there, right click and delete it.

If it's not there I'll list some more places where it could be.

had the same problem a while ago which was caused by some spyware which was on my pc. download spybot, cws shredder and run them they might find something. big thing at the moment are highjackers which can take over and control. I assume you have av and firewall software running.

Run Msconfig.exe, this will show you all the startup programs on your PC.
