IE 8

Recently, when I shutdown and restart my PC and bring up IE8,a new tab opens
to Bing, my homepage changes to an IE8 page, my favorites add all the MSN
sites (MSN, MSN Money, MyMSN etc) and I have to reset my homepage. I don't
think that I changed anything to make this occur, but it does. How do I stop
it!

Uninstall Bing, MSN, and/or Windows Live toolbar(s) & reboot.

I can't find Bing on the add/remove but did delete the others. After reboot,
had the same occurence. No change!

I've just rebooted two additional times and I think you've fixed it. My
normal homepage is showing up and not the others. Thanks so much for your
help. I really appreciate it!
