Is this a free service?
Do you have a ISP icon on your desktop?
Is you home page always to your ISP?

Check this out.

Rockstar Software's "Gearbox Connection Kit" used by some
ISPs, a tool to let the ISP auto-setup or update users'
connection settings, will reportedly attach to the browser
and change the IE homepage back to the ISPs everytime the
browser is started.

To change it to the URL of your choice, try this:

Open My Computer
Open Internet Connections
Right-Click on the icon for your ISP
Click on Properties
(this opens an editor that gives you access to most of
your Internet settings in one place)
Click on the right arrow near the tabs a few times until
you get to the Web panel
Set your homepage there
Hit Save

This also may be the issue.

Your answer has got NOTHING to do with the user's question.
