I reset the browser settings, then changed the home page. I restarted the computer a few times and it seems to be okay now.
Thank you so much.
Any idea why my original post wound up in the spam folder and I got the 404 error?
I caught this via the spam filter but thought you could use an idea early on.
If Chrome is opening to some page, try resetting Chrome and then set the home page as you wish.
The scans you did were good but most if not all will not change the home page, that's something we do to finish the job.
