I'm assuming the problem is only occurent when your loading up your browser, and I'm assuming your browser is Internet Explorer.

Goto Tools -> Internet Option and there's a Homepage title, just changed that and click ok, and it should be set to default.

Try downloading Spybot Search and Destroy:
http://www.safer-networking.org/inde...&page=download

Change it back to the orginal homepage. Then open Spybot. Under the Immunize tab, click "Lock IE start page settings against user changes."

There is probably an easier way to fix the problem than this, but the good thing about this software is that its great for removing spyware. Kill two birds with one stone.

Changes have been made resident in the registry then, chances are it somewhere where it initializes the IE during restart, either sift through the registry hoping to find something remote (more like a needle in the haystack), get some anti spybot software or reformat. Best of luck.
