Explorer question

BaZmO*

Every time I open up Explorer my homepage is changed to some site called "Smartsearch" even though I keep changing it back to my own homepage. I've tried to sort it out by deleting all the Temp Files and the Cookies but it keeps on happening. I know it's not life or death but it's a right royal pain in the proverbials. I've checked Add/Remove programs to see if something has installed itself but everything seems ok!
Any suggestions on how to sort this out???

Cheers.

Search for any spyware, "Spybot serach & destroy" should get rid of it.

Thanks joePC

do ctrl-shift-esc and end task anything like 'superbar', 'superseach' smartsearch, smrtsrch.exe or something like that.
