    IE 11 has been hijacked


    I have recently upgraded to window 10 and with it came IE 11 and Edge. I prefer to use IE 11 over the current version of Edge. When I start IE 11 from the task bar even though the home page is designated to be www.Bing.com I end up on a My-Search page with an annoying message that windows may be corrupted and I need to buy a package from Reimage to solve the corruption issues. When I then select go to home page from the toolbar it displays Bing as the search engine as it should I have tried multiple virus scans and other cleaner software to no avail. Does anyone know of a way to stop the hijacking by My-Search???

    :)

    IE 11 breaks more often now that Edge has been released

    I have also notice that LinkedIn (owned by Microsoft), no longer works in IE 11, is this another attempt to force people to use Edge...or Chrome?

    Hi, and welcome to Tenforums.

    Please download and run the following:
    AdwCleaner Download
    Junkware Removal Tool Download

    Then please "reset" all browsers on the system
    Internet Explorer - Reset in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
    Microsoft Edge - Reset to Default in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

    Let us know how it goes.

    And you still prefer to use a browser that's so easily hijacked? Why?
