John,
I recommend you spybot s&d.
It is free, updatable online, it will rid your machine of any spyware. You can immunize the machine, and block changing start pages in IE.
One other cool thing is windows process list with full path to the programs running on your disk.
Only remember to start it in advanced mode to get all of this visible...

Subject: OT: Hijack this
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to clean out some unauthorize crap that "Hijacking" my start and
default page in Internet Explorer 5.5.
What this malware does is set my start and default page to:
C:\WINDOWS\secure.html
In an effort to get rid of this, I went through my registry and change ever
setting that references secure.html to about:blank but that didn't work. Ever
time I started IE, the start and default pages were changed back to
secure.html. I don't really know how to get rid of this annoying malware so I
tried google.
On google I discovered there's a freeware program called HijackThis that gets
rid of this nuisance but, for some reason which I still don't know, I can't
download this software.
Whenever I try to download this software, and I've tried using Mozilla and IE,
I get a connection refused or Page can't be displayed message. I wonder if
this malware is preventing me from downloading this freeware.
So, I'm wondering if anyone's has already downloaded this software and knows
if it works as advertised. Also, I wonder if this software works if someone
would be kind enough to email it to me.
Thanks very much in advanced, John
