Misc. IE Settings

Hi I am setting up spyblaster on my computer.And I have a question? Where it says Disable the IE Home Page settings area in the Internet Tools Control Panel. What happens if I check the box? If anybody can help Thankyou stuvvx

 

Hi and welcome,

If I'm not mistaken, that setting only ensures that no one else using your computer can manually play with your home page settings. It does NOT, I think, protect against such changes coming from malware or other "outside" sources.

Maybe it's not a huge protection, especially if you're the only user, but sometimes handy in a multi-user environment.

 

Hi Thanks for the quick answer.That's what I thought too. Thankyou very much stuvvx

 

It should prevent "most" homepage hi-jack attempts by malware.

 

Hi Thunder thankyou for the info.I had wondered about that for a year or two!Thankyou much stuvvx San Francisco,California

 

Glad to have helped.
