Happened once to me years ago....run MSCONFIG in Windows/System and there's probably a command they added in Startup, Config.sys or Autoexec.bat to re-add that new home page.
Just uncheck to remove that line. Then in your browser Tools/Internet Options put the Home Page that you want it to be.

and a friendly tip : Use Ad-Aware SE Personal - its a nice freeware progi that scans for spyware

Do not use Internet explorer, it causes a lot of security problems. Also try Webroot Spy Sweeper, but if you want it updated constantly, then you will have to buy it or search hard for a crack or valid serial.

Spyware Blaser helps too. Since Istarted using it I've had 0 spywares on my system.

Thanks for the help, but i have windows 2000 and no have program named msconfig but the option reinstall windows (a fresh copy) can eliminated this malware.

I try to post more information when I find another solution to this.
