Fully read the how-to-use Combofix link below. If Malwarebytes Pro (registered version) fails, I use CCleaner Pro (also registered version), but if even that fails there is only one option, “Combofix”… to be used with caution as it is a root/core capable scanner which can also destroy a system if you don’t follow the instructions before letting it run. Often it is a rootkit type of installation if we tried to not install their crap-ware. Nothing works as it is suppose to and any click we do install their crap-ware on our computers. The sneakier ones set anything and everything as a, “Yes please install your crap-ware on my computer”… including the X in the corner to close the pop-up box. Good advice but there is no rule or law to say, the “Next” button only does what we think it’s suppose to do. If you are working in tech support or the go-to guy or girl when it comes to fixing computer problems, then this is something you may want to look in as well from now on. It is likely that this method will be used by other companies as well so that this method to manipulate browser home pages will become a common issue for Internet users.Īs always, it is important to read before clicks are made on buttons or links as much of this can be avoided then. To resolve it, remove the url at the end.Īn alternative to that is to delete the shortcut with a right-click, and create a new shortcut using the start menu or a file explorer and the program directory of the browser. Here you may find properties listed directly or after you right-click a second time on the browser name that is displayed there.Ĭheck the target field of the properties window and if you find a url attached at the end, you are affected by this. To find out if this is indeed the case on your computer, right-click the browser shortcut on the taskbar. This means no session restore and none of the usual home pages that may be loaded instead. If you take Chrome as an example: Instead of just pointing to the chrome.exe file on the system, it adds " at the end instructing the browser to load only this url and no other. If you check the browser's start page settings however you will notice that it has not been modified.Īnd here comes the new part and why I'm writing about it, the Bitable modification does not manipulate a browser setting, it changes only the shortcut on the system. The change affects popular browsers such as Chrome, Internet Explorer and Firefox at the very least and maybe other browsers as well. When you restart the browser, you may notice that the home page has changed. If you click continue (which means give your okay so that the program makes the change) all open browsers are closed. You find a search there, thumbnail links to popular sites, date and weather information, and some other information. If you open the Bitable website you will notice that it resembles contents that are opened on a browser's new tab page by default. Set as the home page in your web browsers and have all your favorite websites at your fingertips every time you start your browsing session. If you have installed the most recent version of Auslogics Disk Defrag, a popular disk defragmentation software for the Windows operating system, you may have noticed that it displays an offer after installation of the core program to install something that makes the home page in web browsers on the system. Some browsers display information to the user when the homepage changes while others such as Chrome may even reset settings automatically when changes are noticed.
