Hey, guys. I hope this is the correct thread.

I have been having trouble with my internet home page. I have Google chrome pinned to my desktop and on my windows 8 front page but no matter how I try to connect to the internet my homepage has been changed to something called Quick start or istart123. I have tried a number of things to get rid of it.

First I went to settings and found nothing in the On Start, Appearance and Manage Search Engines section. I reset them all anyway and put Google back in. Then I tried extensions but all I have are Google docs so nothing to delete there. I also went to remove programs but nothing unusual was on the list. I also get this new start up page with Internet Explorer so I have tried similar fixes for that as well but with similar results. Finally I ran Malwarebites and my Norton virus checker but nothing was found. With nothing in settings, extensions, remove programs and finally a maleware/spyware virus check, I have no idea how to get rid of it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)
