home page kept changing....help!!!

[balong]

All,

I use Windows 2000 Professional as my Operating System and
I have this odd problem, my home on my Internet Explorer
kept changing everytime I restart my computer. I will set
it to msn.com as my default home page, but then after I
restart my computer it will default to something else it's
like it's not staying. I ran all the antivirus and spyware
programs but that didn't seem to help. Please help me.
Thanks in advance...
