And this is the reason why I hate windows IE (pick any version) The Default page should be about:blank. If the homepage is taken over in some way, everybody is in danger. If I wish to be dangerous. I don't need microsofts help. I don't get it. Every browser has a home page. All you have to do is shut off your internet and you can change a bad home page without opening it. (You might have to clear your cache first though.)

(You might have to clear your cache first though.) What you don't realize is every new computer rolling off the countless assembly lines. Has MSN website as the default. Only .01% of users of computers these days know enough about using them. Let alone using them correctly. If it wasn't for the other 99.99% I would not be in the nice side business of fixing microsofts dumb marketing decisions. Yes, the homepage default of MSN.COM is a marketing driven decision. What better way to get eyes on your website than to make the default page be yours. Look at how many people ask for help. In fixing there hijacked browsers. HIJACKTHIS, would not exsist if the browser default was hard to change, from your preferred setting.
