Googles Home Page

I would like to know why my home page was changed when I did not elect to change it.  I like the oringinal page better. I also want to know why I am being asked to sign in with a user name and passwood when I do not recall creating an account!

Sometimes sites can be very sneaky in how they get to end up being your homepage without you fully realizing it. It can be as simple as not fully reading a download installment, to clicking on a link. It's happened to me several times. There is a very simple fix, thankfully! Just go to tools or settings on your browser, usually on the top right side, you'll find a drop down menu and should find one labeled 'Internet Options' (You can also find it in your Control Panel on your computer). Just click on Internet Options and delete whatever homepasge they have under Home Page, and put the URL address of whatever one you prefer. You do not need to log into google to search and enjoy it's other features. If you use Google Chrome browser, it may ask you to log in, but you don't need to do so. Some browsers try to demand that you associate one particular email address with your browser, and it may do no harm to do so, but if you're leery, you can just use a separate email account and not your main one, to actually do so, but you really shouldn't need to worry about doing that at all.
