Hi again and thank you for your reply.
I went to regedit, but wow there is a lot of stuff in
there. I do not know where to begin and where to end and I
am not very keen on touching anything. I tried to search
for the webadress of the search-page which is a strange
one: it says nothing but 'about:blank' in the adress-line,
but nothing came up.

Could you possibley give me a little more guiding?
Please...

Greetings

searched for the web address that the home page is set to
and deleted every result that came up with a match to that
website. Also check in task manager for processes that
don't look familiar to you and stop them. If you find the
right one that will let you change the home page searh for
that process (whatever.exe) and delete it, but make sure
you're definate it is the right one.

files and folders come up with a folder where the .exe
lives get rid of that too.
