Need Help My IE Keeps Resetting My Homepage To Something Else!!

[slbmsb]

I have a problem. When i set the homepage on my Ie to the
one I want and then close and reopen or open another
window it doesn't go my homepage. Instead it goes to
something else. I keep resetting it and it just continues
to revert to the other site which doesn't even load. Can
someone please help me.
