I have recently been having problems with IE. The URL of the homepage constantly changes but the page always remains the same. Whenever I try to set the HP it will be there the first time i open it up and then go back to the other hijack website. I have been having another problem with AIM...whenver i talk to people the program will freeze up and boot me off within seconds I believe it says something about kernel32.dll. I have hijackthis information if anyone needs to see it. Thank you in advance for your help.

Try using these programs first,

Spybot S&D ,
http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=downloadInstall, update, scan and fix all. Restart between using each.

SpywareBlaster would also be good, there is a link on the Spybot S&D Immunize set up page for SpywareBlaster.
Don't forget to disable System Restore before cleaning and sometime I have had to clean from safe mode.

You can download a freeware program named: StartPageGuard from the following:
http://pjwalczak.com/spguard/index.php
StartPage Guard (SPG) protects your PC from cyberscam, by detecting and preventing any unauthorized changes to your internet browser's Start and Search pages. It is also capable of removing automatically most of known "invaders".Or you can do like this:
Correct your home page to the one you prefer, then immediately do the following:Backup the registry and/or export the following keys:
go to Start>Run, type regedit. Navigate to:
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\
Right-click on the Internet Explorer key, choose new>Key, name it Control Panel.
Right-click on the Control Panel, chose new>DWORD value, name it Homepage. Right-click
on Homepage, choose modify and type in the number 1.This should lock your home page, so no other web site can change it.
Then navigate here and verify the homepage is correct:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
look for the Start Page entry
