Annoying problem I can't get rid of
This start page is worse than an In-Law to get rid of. I was greeted by a unknown source with a "Start-search" start page that opens my IE-11 and I can't get rid of it. I have tried every edit I know of but it's still there. msconfig, regedit etc.
Windows 7, IE-11 I hesitate to reload IE-11 because I will lose all my saved junk.
Any ideas, I hate the page but in order to go to my IE-11 homepage I have to request it, annoying useless page I don't want.

Thanks Train, it appears like the program got rid of a lot of other garbage also.

They do just that, why I like them and you have to get new copies as they do not have a updater in them.
For a 2nd check of your computer:
Download Sophos Free Virus Removal Tool and save it to your desktop.
- Double click the icon and select Run
- Click Next
- Select I accept the terms in this license agreement, then click Next twice
- Click Install
- Click Finish to launch the program
- Once the virus database has been updated click Start Scanning
- If any threats are found click Details, then View log file... (bottom left hand corner)
- Close the Notepad document, close the Threat Details screen, then click Start cleanup
- Click Exit to close the program
