Explorer keeps loading garbage address of home page

[Guest]

Suddendly, Explorer keeps loading a long line of garbage characters instead of the homepage address
Blank page is OK but as soon as I visit another page, those garbage characters are appearing again in th
Tools\options\homepage address
Some malicious webpage must have corrupt this sector. How can I get rid of this
There are no virus found on my system.
Is it possible to delete Explorer and to reload again in the worst case
Thanks for any help.

Some website has hijacked your homepage.

1. Use the following scanners to find and remove the website.

SpyBot S&D searches your harddisk for so-called spy- or adbots;
http://security.kolla.de/
or
Adaware
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
or
CoolWebShredder
http://www.spychecker.com/program/coolwebshredder.html

2. Some porn websites redirects links to their websites using your HOSTS
file. Do a search for the HOSTS (without extension) file and remove the
entry.

3. If still no joy, download HijackThis from Spywareinfo download page

http://www.spywareinfo.com/program/hijackthis.html

Run the program and you will find many entries. Most are OK. Post the log. I
will find the problem for you.

4. For future preventive maintenance, turn off ActiveX in Security tab.
