Try clearing your entire history and resetting the home page. I know... It's a low tech answer, but macs are made so that you shouldn't have to do anything high tech! If that doesn't work, you could always back up your important stuff on an external hard drive and do a wipe and re-install everything. It takes a little time, but it'll be good as new.

I don't know how to help you with the MSN page (but you probably need to find a link for the English site and click it, then it might automatically start taking you there in the future). However, if you go to google.com/ncr (no country redirect) it won't redirect you to Google Korea.

Glad to know it's not just me! I thought my computer had problems!!!

I now have my homepage set to msn.co.uk as I tried getting the US one, even going to msn help / world / advice etc to no avail.

Might switch to yahoo, but then that comes up in Korean if you set it as dot.com too....

Really sucks, I want my msn.com (USA) back!!!!!

Go to http://www.google.com/ncr

"ncr" = no country redirect, it will send you straight to the US English page

Instead of going to www.google.com which will direct you to the korean one, go to www.google.ca Once again, Canada has solved your problems.
