Redirect to MSN

[Bill]

My XP Pro laptop has picked up some sort of redirect to MSN as the home
page. I want it to be Google and every time I reset it, it goes back. Can't
see what happens because its so quick but the browser address initially
comes up with something like microsoft.com/redirect .............. or
similar and ends up at MSN.

Have looked through all the settings, even reset to defaults, but can't stop
it.

Pretty sure its not a virus, also have swept with spybot, ad-aware etc
without success.

Any ideas please?

Regards.
Bill.

If you have used SpyBot's Immunize feature turn that off, make your Home
page change and then turn it back on.
