Thumbs up for Arovax Shield! It solved a

[slowday444]

problem. This morning I was using IE to view some vendor sites that wouldn't load right with FF. Every time I opened it, however, the MS update page opened instead of google "0" updates by the way!). I even stopped it through msconfig, however, all that did was give me the nasty red update shield in the system tray. I was getting ready to post the problem here when AS informed me about an attempted MS home page parameter change. I denied it at first. That didn't work, sure enough when I opened IE it was still the update page. This time, with the AS text box opened, I allowed the change (even though I never actually changed the home page) and google was back! During all of this google would still open when I'd hit the home page icon and then I would even reaffirm it as my home page in Internet Options but dang update would only open when I'd re access IE. How did this "hijack" take place? Also, I was questioning the need for AS since I run ZA Pro, Ewidow, NOD32, MS anti spy, Spware Doc, however, I guess I'll keep it!

Maybe it wanted goto the update page to beacuse it was an update that it really wanted you to install.

Nope, there were not any updates! In retrospect, I guess Arovax didn't really fix it if I allowed the change, however, I'm not sure whether I denied or allowed the change the second time.
