Have you run any spyware or hijacker removal software?

If you install Spybot, you can actually enable a feature that locks your homepage.

Download CWShredder:
[url]http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip[/url]
Unzip, run and hit the ->fix tab to fix all found problems

CWShredder takes advantage of seurity holes in windows so you should install all critical as well as hotfixes available from windows update.

Then repost a fresh Hijack this log .

Download 'Hijack This!'. [url]http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/[/url] and save it to a folder on your desktop.
Unzip, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
Press that, save the log, load it in Notepad, and copy its contents here. Most of what it lists will be harmless or even essential, don't fix anything yet.

Yep! Good advice there!

I've recently had the exact same problem. Lavasoft Adware did nothing, but CWShredder fixed it up real nice.

I remove it manually without spyware detection. I do it two ways, I press Ctrl+Alt+Del - If I notice something running which normally doesn't, I exit out of that and I search for it in my files, and delete that. I then usually goto Temp Internet files, and see if there is anything suspicious there, if there isn't I then goto "Find Files/Folders" I then search for ALL FILES OPENED IN THE LAST DAY, if I see something in the time that the file was last accessed closest to the time that I opended my browser I look at its properties, if it doesn't look right, I delete it. That usually solves the problem for me. I GET ALOT of those. :-/
