IE 6.0 starting up an unwanted website

[Guest]

I had set my default IE 6.0 home page to Hotmail. Recently
I got a spam email which changed my browser home page to
their home page. I tried reseting my IE 6.0 to the
original settings. However, everytime I log in, I get the
same web page. It is getting real annoying. Does anyone
have an idea of how to tackle this issue?
