What homepage is it redirecting you to? If you would like you can post a
HijackThis log here or at http://www.bleepingcomputer.com where I can help
you remove the offending items.

Create a directory on your hardrive to save HijackThis.exe. A directory
like c:\hijackthis. If you do not do this, you will not be able to use the
backup/restore features.

Download HijackThis from:

http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/hijackthis.zip

or here:

http://computercops.biz/downloads-cat-14.html

Save this file into the directory you made previously and then run the
program named hijackthis.exe. When the program opens click on the Config
button, then click on the Misc Tools button, and click on the Check for
update online button. When it completes checking/applying updates press the
back button.

Now click on the Scan button and when it is finished click on the Save Log
button. A Notepad window will open with the contents of this log. Click on
Edit then click on Select all. Then click on Edit and then Click on Copy.

Create a reply to this post here or register an account and post a message
in the HijackThis Logs forums at http://www.bleepingcomputer.com and right
click in message area and select paste to paste the log into the post.

Someone will reply to you after reading this post. DO NOT fix any entries
unless you understand what you are doing.

Your PC has been infected with parasite software which
keeps resetting your home page. it's not technically a
virus but it's similart. You will need to purchase
software to eliminate the problem. Try Lavasoft. They
market this kind of prouct.

You do not need to purchase any software to fix these problems, though the
developers to accept donations.
