homepage changes

[Guest]

My homepage changes everytime to: C:\Program Files\NIEUW2\Portal\portal.html
I tried changing this in every possible way (i think) but as soon as my
laptop has been switched off, it's changed again. Can someone help me to fix
this problem?
I'm using windows XP home edition and I don't think that I have malware on
my laptop.

When all else fails, HijackThis
v1.99.1(http://aumha.net/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to
use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware.

It sounds to me that your browser has been hijacked.

1. Download hijackthis from http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/
2. Install hijackthis on your C: drive.
3. Open the program and click on Do a system scan and save a logfile.
4. Save the logfile.
5. Visit http://www.hijackthis.de/
6. Either copy and paste your logfile contents into the space provided, or
7. Click on the Browse button and locate your logfile.
8. Click on Analyze
9. Wait a few minutes and the results will be displayed.
10. Follow the instructions for the "Nasty" entries.

Good luck.

I tried hijackthis and it worked for one day. Today my homepage changed again to the same file (C:\\Program Files\...). What now?
