Home page keeps going to MSN.com

When I installed Windows Vista I made MSN my home page. I was asked if I
wanted to prevent change to my home page and I answered yes because very
often certain web sites try to make themselves your home page. Now I want
to change my home page to comcast.net but every time I reboot it goes back
to MSN as my home page. I went to tools/internet options and changed my
home page to Comcast and clicked apply but whenever I start IE8 it reverts
back to MSN for my home page. How can I make it keep comcast as my home
page?

Are you using an anti-spyware program like SUPERAntiSpyware?

One of the protection programs YOU installed asked that question, which you
answered YES to.

Go to that program and remove the check from the appropriate box. Change
your home page. Then recheck the box.
