Before you get started, please go to the site below and read the information
regarding the Noadware. I would recommend that you uninstall it before you
try to resolve your problems. The site is a very well respected and
reputable list of scam and rogue programs, as well as those that install
spyware, adware or malware on your system. It also lists all the
legitimate and reputable programs to install.

Then see the following on how to unlock the home page and see if it will
help.

UnlockHomePage.reg [right-click and select: Save As]
