SpywareGuard

SpywareGuard keeps telling me that an attempt has been made to change my Internet Explorer home page. When I say to accept new value, it is ok until the next time I come online.
The message goes from changing from yahoo.com to yahoo.com/ and keeps going. Each time, it is changing from yahoo.com/ to yahoo.com or yahoo.com to yahoo.com/.
Help. I have allowed yahoo.com to accept cookies so I can login on myyahoo.com companion toolbar.
I cannot add yahoo.com to trusted sites since it is in the accept cookies area.

 

This may not help....but might be worth a try.

1)Go to the page you want as your Home page.
2)via IE's Tools\Internet Options\....in the Home Page section....select the Use Current button.
3)Exit all IE windows....reboot and see if it still happens.

 

Thanks for replying.

I tried your suggestion but did not work. Anything else?
Please

 

While uninstalling would be my last resort....even tho it wouldn't be that big of a deal....I would ask you to try one more thing because my belief is that the config.ini file that's part of SpywareGuard(SG) has become discombobjulated

This will not render SG unusable:
1)With SpywareGuards GUI open....select from the top menu....File\Exit
2)via Windows Explorer....go to the C:\Program Files\SpywareGuard folder and either move or delete the file named config.ini
3)Restart SG....it will then re-read the items of the registry it is intended to monitor.
4)Possibly not needed but let's shutdown SG which will rebuild\create a new config.ini file....select from the top menu....File\Exit
5)Restart your PC
6)If after your PC is restarted SG is not running(icon in Taskbar)....then restart SG also.

In case it matters for later info....what Operating System are you using....and if it's NT based(NT,2K,XP)....does this user have Admin rights ?

 

That did not work either so I uninstalled Spyware Guard and reinstalled it and it works.

Thank you for your assistance.

 

WindowsXP
Single user no administrator but me

 

Must have missed a step but un-installing\re-installing will definetly get rid of\re-create a new config.ini

Glad you got it working

BTW....did you also do an update after installation ?

 

Yes. I did the updates. Thanks again.

 

I had a similar problem. I went into the Regedit and added the / mark in the home page so would be the same and the problem disappeared.

 

Bubba...is Spyware Guard 2.2 compatible running alongside Pest Patrol, Spybot, Ad-Aware SE and and Spyware Blaster?

 

If i may answer.

I don't have Pest Patrol installed but i do have all the other apps. u mentioned along with Spywareguard and i have had no problems at all.

Just my .02
