Cygnus X-1 12 Posted January 12, 2006 This isnt a site problem, but I was wondering if anyone has any ideas I used to have SBC Yahoo parental controls on my comp (thanks to parents :roll: ) anywho, I got rid of it, and now it doesnt affect me whatsoever. Except for one thing. When I had the program, CNCNZ was my homepage, but whenever I loaded up firefox it redirected to SBC Yahoo. Now that the program is gone, it should go back to being CNCNZ, but it doest. Keeps redirecting ot SBC Yahoo page. Any Ideas ? Share this post Link to post
Luk3us 63 Posted January 13, 2006 Yeah sure. Don't download stupid programs... They bring all kinds of crap onto your system. Share this post Link to post
Sonic 296 Posted January 13, 2006 While this SBC Yahoo thing is gone its damage is not. Have you manually changed your homepage setting in the Firefox options to what you want? Share this post Link to post
Cygnus X-1 12 Posted January 13, 2006 yes I have, its on PlanetCNC now, but I tried chaning it back to CNCNZ and it still redirects to yahoo @ Luk2as - my parents did it, not me :roll: Share this post Link to post
Luk3us 63 Posted January 13, 2006 You could have a homepage hijacker installed. Try a virus scan. Share this post Link to post

Cygnus X-1 12 Posted January 13, 2006 I dont see how it could be a homepage hijacker, because CNCNZ is the only page that wont load as a homepage. :? Share this post Link to post
Sonic 296 Posted January 14, 2006 Well it has to be something screwing with your system. Maybe re-installing Firefox will help? Update to Firefox 1.5 if haven't already. Share this post Link to post
Cygnus X-1 12 Posted January 15, 2006 fixed it. I had my SBC account disabled (temp) for a day, then reset everything in firefox and cleared the cache, then had acount re-enabled. Apparenly somewhere in there it got fixed Share this post Link to post
