can't set home page

[Scott]

Okay, I have a major problem here. I am currently using
IE version 6. My home page kept changing to this
(res://mshp.dll/index.html#22776) despite numerous
attempt to reset it to some other webaddresses. I have
used anti-virus program (which is updated frequently)to
check for virus but nothing is found. I have even done
clean reboot and edit the registry as instructed by the
MS website many times. The problem would seem to be
fixed temporarily. But within an hour, this problem
would reappear again where I start my Internet Explorer
and my home page is automatically changed back to this
(res://mshp.dll/index.html#22776)again. Can someone
please help me? Thank you
