I had posted previously: http://www.computing.net/security/wwwboard/forum/2973.html about IE being hijacked by http://www.secret-crush.com. After nothing worked to remove it and needing StartPage Guard to force the home page to Yahoo, I went to the secret-crush page and looked around. At the bottom on the right side in a small font, they have a link called 'Help' which takes you to a page to download 'uninstall.exe'. This fixed the start page! FINALLY!!!! I hope this is of help to anyone that has this problem.
