I performed a clean boot and deleted all of the suspicious registry items: the guilty website was my default page url, local page and start page.

I opened IE, changed the homepage and it worked

I have gone through all those steps to no avail..

Had Adaware and SpywareBlaster already installed, updated them and ran them again to no avail..
Installed Spybot S&D, CWShredder and HiJackThis to no avail..
Installed a regedit program called HomePageLock to no avail..
Went into the registry and deleted the malicious url in Default_PAGE_URL, Local_Page, and Start_Page to no avail..
Did this again after a Clean Boot to no avail..
Updated and ran my symantic anti-virus and windows update to no avail...

HELP!
