Hello;
I am using Seamonkey 2.23 which I downloaded on Dec. 13, 2013. I run
McAfee internet security and Advanced System Care in the system tray.
Occasionally upon booting up I get a dialog box from Advanced System
Care that there is an attempt to change my homepage; it offers me the
option of blocking that change, which I always do. Right now my
Seamonkey loads to the Seamonkey page so that I can be notified when
there are updates.
The problem appears to be that the attempt to change my homepage is
often blocking my loading Seamonkey browser altogether; I load the mail
module first before clicking on 'Window' drop-down menu for 'Browser'.
[I do this because the general 'Seamonkey' shortcut loads the browser
first and then the mail page next for some reason; it did not used to do
so.] While the 'Mail' page loads fine, the browser will not load, but
simply runs the 'hourglass'. It certainly appears to be because of the
attempt to change my homepage, even though I have blocked it. If I stop
Seamonkey in Task Manager and reboot then the browser loads normally
after loading the 'Mail' page.
Besides McAfee and Advanced System Care running in the background
[system tray], I acquired a program this week called 'Malwarebytes' and
ran that in a 2-hour scan. It found two low-threat files - one in the
recycle bin - that we corrected. Yet still something is attempting to
change my homepage and blocking the loading of the browser. I suppose I
could discover who or what is trying to change my homepage by allowing
the change, but I do not know that that would be safe nor that it would
lead to a solution to the problem.
Does Seamonkey have any suggestions of how to deal with this problem?
