anytime I reboot or log back into the computer, the default launch link changes to some search engine site instead of the one I set in the tools section for my home page. Can't seem to get rid of this...any ideas.

Now if I close explorer, don't log out and then relaunch, then it is ok.

check for update first.

Close all instances of Internet Explorer and Outlook Express,
click on the executable above and follow the prompts.
 
This is caused by parasites.
