But in this case I'd reset IE and try it again.
I'll also share I consider IE to be like walking around with a stack of hundred dollar bills in your hands. IE is the prime target for exploits and more. Why do that? Why not use almost any other browser?

My problem is unwanted redirection of my home page when opening Internet Explorer 10. My PC is an 9 month old HP All in One Smartouch Envy20 64 bit win 8,0 OS with 4 gig mem and 1 tb HD. HP ENVY 20-d113w TouchSmart All-in-One Desktop PC.
I appreciate all proffered solutions. But first I must say that I KNow nothing much about computing. I just go blindly about enjoying it, until......
Well my machine MIGHT have the worst problem ever. It could self destruct, blowing me, my wife, my home to heck and back.
Then suddenly I luck upon a "FIX" where all I have to do, is download something like "FIX "death and Destruction".exe and all will be well. HMMM Ok I can do that. Don't even take too much out of a PC Dummy.I download it, run it, reboot and HOOORAY! all stuff is OK and ready to live a long life.
But I DO have a virus or some thing I cant understand, it is not a really BAD thing. But is driving me bonkers. Just irritating the mortal daylights out of me. Some "force unknown", wants to redirect my home page to some site where it thinks it can make money from me! Yeah RIght. ME? Money? But it is so aggravating...knowing genius can do that to MY Property..
I have tried most if not all suggestions and granted I do have problems understanding all of it. But I still have problem!!! I may try again, but now I still get sent "over there"
My point is why does the problem still exist. I cant -I don't know enough PCing to stop whatever it is.
BUT surely there is someone at Microsoft (huh), Google, or hundreds of other 'program manufacturing' brains, who could write a fix in minutes.
But when asking the question about what can I do to stop redirecting, all I get by far from MOST replies, amounts to DUUUUH I DON Know.
Does anyone else agree with about how exasperating this stuff can be??? Can anybody out write a "FIX" program?
Or do I have to spend the rest of my computering life dreading to open my browser because I known some idiot genius is going to send me to "Sites Unknown"
Thanks
