    Hi,
    Review Jacee’s instructions to run Adwcleaner here post #7,
    Ignore the title of the thread,
    Instant Savings App
    Screen shot of the download button to use for Adwcleaner
    You can use these free tools to see if they find anything,
    Manually Update them before running full scans,
    Try not to use your computer while the scans are running, (one at a time of course).
    See this tutorial on how to download and run Malwarebytes,
    Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free
    Also use the Custom scan option not the Threat scan,

    Please Do Not clean/ Delete or Remove Any detections before posting the scan results first before review especially Malwarebytes,

    SAS is safe to remove anything it finds

    This one is the longest up to 4 hours, the others are only about 45 minutes,

    Malware /adware scans pont work for this issue.

    I had to use Brink's Tutorial on how to prevent home page changes and adding a default home page by modifying the registry.

    Hi thanks for the update,
    The scanners are to check for corruption not to alter your home page,
    It's best to remove any corruption first otherwise the issue may return
    Cheers.
