you can use this function, there's no need to know what your cat-id is, just use the category-slug:

function exclude_category($query) {
if ( $query->is_front_page ) {
    $category_ID1 = get_cat_id(category_slugA);
    $category_ID2 = get_cat_id(category_slugB);
    $query->set('cat',"-$category_ID1 -$category_ID2");
} return $query;
} add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category');

I recommend Advanced Category Excluder. Very easy to use. Almost painfully easy to use.

You could try using this plugin: wordpress.org/extend/plugins/front-page-excluded-categories You might also try adding this code to your 'functions.php': 

<?php function excludeCat($query) { if ( $query->is_home ) { $query->set('cat', '-3,-5,-23'); }  return $query; } add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'excludeCat'); ?>

where -3, -5 and -23 are the category ids you want to remove.
