Do a Google search ad get the free version of Ad-Aware, and Spybot
Search&Destroy. After you find and install the programs, do a "check for
updates" on both of them before you run them. You will not believe what you
will find...

Hi Nick,

Home Page Setting Changes Unexpectedly, or You Cannot Change your Home Page
Setting
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=320159

The problem may be due to a spyware.

Download Ad-Aware from www.lavasoftusa.com, scan the system and eliminate
the malware products. Re-apply the above fix if necessary.
** Remember to update the pattern file using WebUpdate in Ad-Aware **

( Caused by a malware called CoolWebSearch) Also, Download:
