Homepage keeps reverting to a previously set homepage

I keep trying to reset my homepage using tools>options> in IE. every time I
restart my computer my homepage reverts to a homepage I had previously set. I
cannot seem to get the new homepage to stick. I scanned my computer using the
Micrsoft malicious software removal tool and came up with nothing.

Does anyone know how I can get this change to stick?
