  1. Thank you for the messages and apologies for not understanding how to use this forum. I can't follow up on the Hijack.Homepage find because I had to reinstall windows to get back to work. I also ran Kaspersky Internet Security on all my disks and it found no problems. Honestly, I am not sure the Hijack.Homepage ever did anything on my system. I found that one of my disks was dying which explained the reason I first came to Malewarebytes. My file transfers where sometimes hanging and leaving the system unresponsive. The good news is that I now know to use Malewarebytes. But I will still need to spend some time reading about the reporting procedure. YIKES, do you know that the Enter key deletes the text in this reply box? Happy Trails
  2. Yesterday I ran the free/trial version of Malwarebytes because I had a gmail bounce with a report of possible malicious software. Gmail was not accurate. it bounced because I enclosed a zipped folder of text files. And no malware. I also scanned with Kaspersky. I wasted 5 hours on that. However, my Malwarebytes scan found Hijack.Homepage and removed it. I had never had any problems with my homepage or browsing in general. I can't find any info on what this thing might have been doing and wonder if it was a false positive. But today I find that Internet Explorer 11 is behaving odd (Edge and Chrome work) I have a personal homepage and the link to gmail on that page only works if I open in a new tab or in a new window. Otherwise it goes to the Google account page and then pops back to my web page. I can't find out what Hijack.Homepage does. Could my Gmail link problem connected to Hijack.Homepage? Happy Trails The only report I have is enclosed. malwarebytes log.txt
