Home page problems

[Andy]

So here's the deal. If I set my home page to Yahoo, for
example, and then open IE, everything works normal. But
after I close IE, the next time I run it, even immediatly
afterwards, the home page has been changed to another
page. This has to be caused by something on my computer,
but I've run anti-virus software and spyware detection
software, but to no avail. Anyone have any ideas.

First eliminate any scumware.

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. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back
in the same thread.
