Web Browser Problem

[Sal Belloise]

When ever I select the internet explorer a site
called "Space-Search.com" automatically comes up. I have
on numerous times selected Tools, internet options and
changed my default home page to "about blank" and hit the
apply tab. It does not work, Space-Search keeps coming
up. When I try to use my search feature--it seems to be
disabled. I have searched my installed programs, reloaded
internet explorer and performed a Norton anti-virus check--
it showed no virus found. Can anyone help me with this
problem?
