The home page set on my internet explorer is permanently
set to about:blank. If I change the home page in the
options, it is just reset to about:blank the next time i
use IE. The 'about:blank' site is actually some random
search page. If tried scanning with anti-virus software
and adware/spyware software too but it all comes up
empty. I just can't figure out where this search site is
coming from. I'd really appreciate some help.

Thanks
