You should be able to go to the page you want in IE, go to Tools,
Internet options, under Home page click "use current". click OK and
that should do it. If it doesn't then I don't know.
 
I tried that before. It did not work.

Hi,
These and other third-party programs can lock the IE homepage. Examine the
settings of security/privacy/antispyware programs for a disable option.
Spybot> Tools> IE Tweaks
Ad-aware Pro
Norton AV 2006
Spyware Blaster
Zone Alarm (free) 6.5
If Zone Alarm is the guilty party, the solution (if you don't want to
uninstall ZA) is to startup in Safe Mode, change the homepage, restart.

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
 
Options in several third-party applications disallow such changes. These include Ad-aware's Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea Timer, SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Norton AntiVirus, McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware, and Zone Alarm (Free and Pro).
