my homepage keeps changing

I always use a blanc page when opening my internet explorer, worked well until....I changed from telephone internetting to ADSL.
From that time on my blanc page is overtaken by the MSN homepage site.

Somewhere on my pc it says when I open explorer, that the blanc page should be replaced by the MSN home site.

Someone gave me a link to a site wich is too complicated for my poor Dutch brains, so I come here to ask if anybody know how to set it straight again. (and I mean permanently, not changing the option ever so often in 'internet connections').

The line I get when MSN takes over is this:
http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dll?prd=ie&pver=6&ar=msnhome

This can occur if you have pop-up blocker installed, there
is an option in some pgm's that lock the home page,
another is with tweak ui. you can set a home page and if
you try to change it it will revert back. If this is not
the case to set it go to ei then tools, then internet
options click use blank, apply OK.

1.. Go to the page you want to appear when you start Internet Explorer.
2.. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
3.. Click the General tab.
4.. Under Home page,type in the home page you want and click Use Current.

Open IE Tools, internet options, general tab, click on "choose blank"

Cool now we know that you are infected with spyware,
download spybot, webroot, which I find it to find the
majority of spyware. look at your logs after you run the
scan and see if there was a pgm that it was not able to
get ride of. find out the file name then you may have to
go into safe mode and delete it. sometimes it is in
msconfig and disable it in startup.

good luck

Norton is permently on watch and I start up with Ad-aware
6.0 and just now I found in the Ad-watch the item I was
looking for, the root key to the hijjacker.
I opened regedit, found the little thing and deleted it,
but....that seemed not to be enough, because after
restarting the computer, it showed up again in my Ad-aware
and was sitting in the regedit again. There must be
something else then, wich causes it to reinstall itself,
but where????
