Don't make MSN your Homepage

Regardless if you're using Firefox or not (I just updated it, and ran Spybot) it's now attempting to FORCE some kind of querie with IE.

I keep getting window after window of error messages saying something along the lines of someone or something not allowing data to be sent at this time.

And it ONLY HAPPENS when I try and open MSN. If I don't open MSN, I don't get error windows.

Well my home page is Yahoo. When I use MSN my moniter begins to bleed around the edges and spin aroun in place. I cannot stand msn myself but tons of people use it.

Slashdot has been my homepage since '98... Which is proof that anything is better than MSN.

Now I'm not sure it's MSN anymore. Now I'm getting the error messages popping up when I open up my Bookmarks folder.

WTF. This machine is so hosed.

Swgtales.com...

before that it was something like Camelotherald.com or something, since DAOC was life.
having foxnews.com as your homepage isnt that great either.

You know I have it in my toolbar. I always thought it kind of a waste of resources to actually set it as my homepage.
