If what you want to do is lock your IE homepage so it cannot be changed by programs, then you create the Registry key below, create a DWORD value called "Homepage" and a value of 1.
This will disable the homepage options on the Internet Options of Control Panel.
It also denies permission to webpages that attempt to change the homepage.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel]
"Homepage"= 0x0000000000 (1)
Malware can use these entries to lock in a malicious home page.
Also, programs like Symantec can do this. So can Comcast, and some application installers will try to set the home page to their company's website.
To re-enable the homepage options on the Internet Options of Control Panel, set the Homepage value to 0.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel]
"Homepage"= 0x0000000000 (0)
^^^This is what you have.
Check Internet Options in Control Panel. Is the Home Page OK there?

No, no usb connection or slot for the printer. It just plugs into a 2.0 usb port.
The only thing that i use a SD card for is to transfer camera pics and that slot is in the very front of the laptop.

herbc,
Let Malwarebytes remove the entry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel]
"Homepage"= 0x0000000000 (0)
Press: Remove Selected
You will see:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\control panel\Homepage (PUM.Hijack.HomePageControl) -> Bad: (1) Good: (0) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
The USB Disk is FAT32, Size: 7576 Mo = MB
Hmmmm...what ya think, B30?...no usb connection or slot for the printer. It just plugs into a 2.0 usb port.
