Default Redirected from homepage

Hi Everyon
When I am logged on to my home page during startup, or even when I am using my pc and want to return to my
homepage, I keep getting re-directed to another site that I do not want. How do I get rid, I have gone to Tools then
options to change my homepage, which I can do the problem is that as soon as I log on to my homepage which is msn home(the site that I want to keep as my homepage) I keep getting redirected, even when I type the msn home page in my address bar. I would like to know how I can
get rid of FOR GOOD the redirected site that I keep getting
Please advis
Thanks
Kenny

You may have some type of Spyware/malware on your PC. Go to:
http://aumha.org/a/parasite.htm and follow the suggestions there.

Default Redirected from homepage

You may have some spyware/Adware installed on your
computer that is re-directing your Homepage. There are 2
free programs recommended highly by all computer
magazines.
1.Download and run the free Adware program from the
following site: http://www.lavasoftsupport.com
2. Spybot S&D: http://safer-networking.org/

Install and run both of these and it may help with your
problem.
