Author Topic: So i go onto google chrome today...  (Read 1015 times)

and it goes onto MSN.com AND the School District Website

i open google chrome
expecting "NEW TABS" page as usual
actually get msn.com and the school district website

I tried changing the home page whatever to new tab again, it says it's onto new tab, but whenever i go back on google chrome, it opens MSN and the school district site again.

I am not logged into the student account at school.

anyway to fix this? :(

did you close all other tabs before you set the homepage? I know on Firefox if you have more than one tab open it will set your homepage to every open tab if you click "use this page" or whatever

nop

i never even set it, seriously. it just randomly popped up when google chrome was unresponsive.

that's weird. does anyone else use that computer? maybe someone else had both of those tabs open and chrome decided to remember what tabs were from last session?

try checking for updates or something

Your school is giving your computer AIDS.

No but seriously, check for viruses.

no viruses.

look for any new software installed on your computer. If your computer is redirecting to your schools website, there might be something screwy going on.

Some programs have options like "Make BING my default search engine" during installation and then it changes your homepage to MSN and your search engine to BING. As for the school district page that's weird.

check your hosts file for any weird redirections? seriously doubt it, but hey, it's a possibility I guess?

This. Try this.

chrome broken as usual
remove any recently installed programs and check other installed browsers for this issue as well

Go Chrome. You're drunk.

A lot of the time this is just stupid stuffty programs that're installed with other things that set your home page to whatevertheforget it feels like.
Kind of annoying, but not really harmful, usually you can just uninstall them like you would any other program, though that's only if you can figure out which one it is.

I havent installed anything in the past 4 months. :/, and it only started happening today.

Unless you're talking about other downloads, like games and stuff
i only downloaded gta sa a couple days ago...

no redirections.

Home page =/= Startup page
