If you visited a web site that had set thi shome-page, it
is quite easy to get rid of that. Go to tools/Internet
Options and set the home page under the general tab. This
is the top most option that you can set.
Now if your home-page gets back to this unwanted site,
you have a spyware in your pc that is setting it. Use a
spyware removal tool line Spybot S&D or Adaware to get
rid of that spyware.
Spybot s&d has a setting that will prevent future
hijacking of homepage.
