For some reason when I go to Internet Tools the home page settings are
grayed out and I cannot change the home page; the entire box where the URL
is as well as the buttons are greyed out! Can someone please help?

Thanks in advance,

the future by paying close attention while on the Internet and taking common
sense precautions. Meanwhile, have alook at this:

The problem may be due to a spyware.

Download Ad-Aware from www.lavasoftusa.com, scan the system and eliminate
the malware products. Re-apply the above fix if necessary.
