Home Page is modified

[Prabhakar]

My home page is being modified by some program
automatically and I am unable to stop it. The program is
changing the home page to 'www.sicakgece.com'. How can I
determine which program is setting the home page? How can
I correct the problem?

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each need to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded.

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back
