reset all settings etc. no luck. any advice?

Maybe you already know this...
On your IE menu, select Tools, then Internet Options...
Type in the home page address you want in the Home Page
address field and click OK.

Thanks greyhelp - I have done all that - the "usual" so to
speak. tried system restore etc. By the way it's windows
xp home

Sounds like you need to get an antivirus software
solution. Check with McAfee or Norton for help on this
one. They often have small "stinger" utilities that you
can download to floppy and run to check/remove the
notorious big-hitters. Good luck!
