Every time I set my homepage to what I want, after few minutes an error occurs and I E suddenly closes because of the error. Next time when I open my Internet Explorer, my homepage has been changed to "res://mshp.dll/index.html#10213." If you know what is wrong, please let me know

Check your system for "hijackware":

You *must* seek updates for Ad-Aware, Spybot, etc., before each and every
use, even "right out of the box". But even then, they can't catch
everything. When all else fails, HijackThis
(http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post
your files to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or the HijackThis Logs forum at
http://forum.aumha.org/ for expert analysis, not here.**

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on, do both daily.

[Many anti-spyware sites continue to suffer from a week-long DoS attack.
Alternative download pages for Ad-Aware, Spybot, HijackThis and CWShredder
may be found on this page: http://aumha.org/a/parasite.htm.]

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?

I have installed the newest version of virus scanner, I have installed firewall on my computer, but nothing is changed. I scanned my computer nothing have been found. can you explain it in more detail what is going on. Thank you

See the links I posted. Anti-virus apps and firewalls do nothing about
hijackware.
