Torjans/Home Page default

[Grant TP]

Hi, We seem to be getting a lot of "free downloads" recently that hijack
the default home-page to their own (Usually Porn or similar (Find-Online.net
for example)), and will not allow you to reset it. We have tried resetting
the homepage in IE, editing registry and deleating all the infected keys,
and so on - But with no luck. As soon as the system is rebooted, it's back
to the junk homepage.
Does anybody have any idea how to get rid of these? Any help really
appreciated.
Cheers,
