    When you post a computer question you should list as much information as possible. For example what Internet browser are you using?  For example Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome. Also list the version you are using? To find out what version you are using go to the top of the web browser and left click help and scroll down to about. Click on it and it will tell you what version you are using.


    There are many reasons your home page could have changed with out you actually doing it yourself. The following is an example. You may have obtained a Trojan. Trojans can actually take control of your computer and prevent you from going to certain web pages. They actually can redirect your web browser to other web sites as opposed to the one that you want to go to.


    See the following link for an explanation:

    Your web browser can be redirected not just in Internet Explorer, in can happen in Firefox, Google Chrome and so on.


    If you tell me the web browser you are using and the version I will tell you how to revert back to Google for your home page. It will work providing you do not have a Trojan. Good Luck.

    Nice answer and explanation! Stick around OK? :)

    Check here:


    http://www.google.com/support/

    Click in tools then click "Internet Option"  on the next box check in for "General". In general there is small rectangular box for which you enter: hppt:// www.google.com, then  click, "apply" and next "Ok".


    Ps.


    Microsoft Xp is the one I hope you may possess. Good luck!!!
