(Win 7 64, 2 tb hd, 4 gig ram)

My home page has change to es-msn.com have tried to change it. Checked for
malware, checked my Avast AV to see it it locked my home page, found nothing.

I don't know how thoroughly you checked for malware, but you might want to
check out these MVP sites:

I use Avast, Win Defender, and Spybot. None of them found anything. I will
check these sites also.

Spybot includes an optional add-on named Tea-Timer. If you have
activated the tea-timer add-on, it can prevent changes to the
registry. I'm not sure whether Tea Timer might also prevent you
from changing your home page. No guarantees, but you could try
the following steps:

Open Spybot Search & Destroy - and select Advanced Mode.

Click on Tools / Resident.

Remove the check from the box marked "Resident Tea Timer" - to
disable the add-on.

Close Spybot. Then, try to change your home page.

If that doesn't resolve your problem, repeat the previous steps -
and enable Tea Timer.
