    ie 10 is swtich hompage...


    IE 10 only, FF doesn't have the problem.
    when I open IE-homepage "http://google.ca"
    It switches to https://google.ca
    and goes into high speed switching back a forth.

    The work of nasty people?
    Anything would be helpful before I start to look in the registry.


    I think, I got it from download some videos on youtube.

    fixed it, so far, i think


    I changed a few things in Internet option>advanced
    Browsing
    unchecked Disable Accelerator button on selection
    unchecked enable 3rd- party browser extentions*
    unchecked use passive FTP
    Security
    checked Block unsecured images with other mixed content
    checked enabled enhanced protect mode*

    I would go though each to figure out which was the problem.
    But I better things to do.
    something work and i'm sticking to it

    I didn't solve...


    the browser changing to https://www.google.ca from Google
    It's not a secure site?
    homepage, tabs and individual bookmarks do it.

    https://www.google.com/
    Google search has always been https,
    Why it's switching back and forth ?
    First I would suggest Internet Options/ Security/ Reset all zones to Default/ Apply/ Advanced/ Restore advanced setting/ Apply and Okay.
    Now Internet options/ General/ Delete button/ Uncheck the top box and click on Delete.
    Close Internet explorer and re-open it and test.
    If you feel you may have picked up some thing,
    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).
    Uncheck the box to Activate the Free trial from the final install options,

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

    I'll go thru my earlier changes to find the one that will fix.

    Go ahead and clear the cache, Leave all sections of internet options as Default.
    Close All open browser windows,
    Click Start and type in the search box,
    internet options
    Click on the suggestion,
    Delete browser history button,
    Check All of the boxes/ Uncheck the very top box,
    You can Uncheck the Form data box "if you use it"
    Click on Delete.
    Use Disk cleanup if more than one user exists on the machine use System clean up as well,

    i went thru my advanced changes individually and could find one that changed anything.
    But what i did find is that Google.ca "short cut" on the favorites bar caused it to start flashing.
    And anything else on the bar causing the screen to flash
    If I select the house icon it stops the flashing.
    If I type an address in manually it seams to work.

    Tomorrow is another day
