After Spybot did it's thing for me it also said that it may not have got
everything (or words to that effect) and said it would clean up the rest
when I shut down. I shut down and then restarted and at that time I got a
prompt to run Spybot which I said ok. After what seemed like an eternity it
again did it's thing and my IE home page is ok. I might add that before
shutdown and running Spybot I had put the url in the home page I wanted via
Tools on IE .
