I ignore, and don't install any toolbars, aside from things like free download manager, and if they appear themselves, I leave them installed, but disabled.

I've seen bing set itself to the homepage. Perhaps not by visiting, but the toolbar is a mess and will reset things sometimes. I don't know under which cases though, I generally just remove all that crap when I get a new system.On 8/18/2011 9:51 AM, Sina Bahram wrote:This sounds like you have a piece of malware installed, or are using quite an old browser, as neither IE8/9, firefox 4/5/6/7, nor Chrome, I think any version, allow the changing of the default homepage without user approval.I'd get that checked out.

Why? You may ask? Well it seems that sense I am set with google as home page. When going to any Microsoft or site affiliated with them. I always get my home page changed to Bing. Now if they want me to use it quit trying to force it on me. I don't like spyware and it is becoming the top bug in high jacking browsers. So if Bing is any relation to there software. i don't give it much credit sense google is its back door search. At 10:39 PM 8/17/2011, you wrote:Sorry. Only speaking from experience. I'm a bing user not because I prefer microsoft, but because I like it's search the best, so why not put it here? And the thingo regarding SEO kind of just slipped. I didn't mean to say it out loud. Sorry about that, guys, though it's so true. I'm not gonna lie.
