Ever since I installed IE7, periodically out of the blue a new IE Window will
open on the MSN website. How do I stop this?

MSN website or the MS website that's the IE7 home page?

http://www.msn.com/ which I think was the default homepage when I installed
it. I have since changed my homepage to something else but the mystery IE7
instances that come up still go to the MSN page.

One or more options/settings in an ever-growing number of third-party
applications may be disallowing the home page change from "sticking". These
include but are not limited to Ad-aware's Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea Timer,
SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor, Norton AntiVirus, McAfee
VirusScan and/or Antispyware, and Zone Alarm (Free and Pro).

Here's something else about NAV that you may not be aware of:
