When running Ad-Watch, attempts to change your Internet Explorer start page may be unsuccessful.

In this case, Ad-Watch is blocking "Possible Browser Hijack Attempts". This is a setting that can be changed.

In order to change your home/start page, you will need to do the following:

Right-click on the Ad-Watch icon in the system tray.
Select *Ad-Watch Settings*
Turn off (red cross) "automatic"
Change your home page
Click "Accept" to the Ad-Watch alarm.
