Browser Start Up Is Infected.

[SMEHR]

Seems like some sort of a virus has attached itself to
the "browser" startup program. It changes the home page
to some "porn" home pages (after I set it to what I want
in the registry) and creates a few instances of the
browser in the systray. When I clean the registry, it
points to what I change it to, but it resets the "home
page", the favorites, etc to this "porn" stuff. It looks
like the Browser's Startup Routine rests it. I have run
Norton anti-virus, it doesn't seem to be able to detect it
as a virus.
Please forward your advice. Thanks,
