Cannot Change Home Page Address

[Percy]

Whenever I start-up my browser it take me to some home
page I've never heard of (I'll call it the infected home
page). I've tried many times to go into "Internet
Options" on the menu to change my home page at start-up.
However, if I log off and on again it keeps taking me to
the "infected home page" and not the one I specified in
the "Internet Options" window. Is there another way to
enter my default home page address upon startup?

Thanks.

Hi,
This is being caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware, parasite)

Work through the solutions (CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot) at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Also note the security tips on that
