Unwanted Home Page

[Pierre C]

I am running Microsoft Internet Explorer Ver.
6.0.2600.0000IS.

In the past week, my normal default home page is being
changed to another site that I have never been on. I'm
getting tired of going into Internet Options window to
change it back to my normal default page.

Is there anything I can do to stop this from happening??

Your excellent help is very much appreciated.
