Registry change

[Guest Sakman]

As of this morning when I hit IE, I get

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx even though my

internet options is set to ATT Yahoo. My spybot detects the change and if I

hit home...it goes right to my homepage. What gives?

I presume you're on IE6 still....Microsoft *really* wants you to upgrade to

IE7. When I've seen this I've either upgraded or I ignore it. I use Firefox

as my main browser so I rarely bump into the issue, but I've never found any

way to stop this outright.

Re: Registry change

 

Are you running IE6 or IE7 currently?

 

IE Tools | Internet Options | Advanced | Browsing | Automatically check for

IE updates (uncheck).

 

PS: You'll have to completely disable Spybot Tea Timer (if enabled) to be

able to do this and have it stay that way. See
