redirected to MSN Brazil

[smoothvirus]

My phone is lighting up this morning because my users who are on IE8 are all getting redirected to MSN Brazil when they try to go to msn.com. MSN is, of course, the default homepage for IE8.

They're freaking out that there's a virus going around but no virus I ever heard of redirects MSN to MSN Brazil. Other websites (yahoo, google, etc) work just fine.

My computer is not getting redirected, but I am using Firefox and have not upgraded to IE8 yet.

The solution is to quickly get rid of MSN anything and designate a sensible home page.

Something like the Google.com start page is ideal for a homepage. It's very light, and won't slow the browser opening like heavy sites do.
