I downloaded a new version of WinZip. It highjacked my Firefox home page. I keep trying to get old settings back but there is all this stuff including Bing as home page. What do I do?
I have tried dragging and dropping MyYahoo into the home page and it resets to Bing every time I log back in.

Hi Mnor,
You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article How to set the home page. Your homepage might have been changed by a particular site. Sites like MSN, Yahoo, etc (and it seems winzip) have been know to ask to become your homepage.
There are steps in that article to reset your homepage preferences to default. I would try that first to clear out any strangeness. If that works, you can try setting your homepage again to your personal preference.
If that doesn't work you should look at the article Preferences not saved.
Finally, your issue may be because you've been hit with some Malware.
Hopefully this helps!
