Internet Explorer will no longer remember my home page.
After you change it on properties and save it, you go out
and come back in and it is completely blank again.

I have searched for a virus and do not have one that has
been detected.

Since this started I have been getting frequent messages
of "explorer has caused an error in user.exe" and I'm
kicked off of the web. Is this related?
 
I wouldn't be surprised, Shelly. Check your system for "hijackware".

HijackThis (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/hijackthis.zip) is the
preferred tool to use these days. It will help to both identify and remove
any hijackware/spyware. **Post your files to
http://forums.spywareinfo.com/, not here.**

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on, do both daily.
