Download and run CoolWebShredder
It should fix the t.rack hijack, If you are still having problems, post back on this thread.

Your browser has been hijacked. Go to

http://www.computing.net/windowsxp/wwwboard/forum/87147.html

and follow the instructions. After cleaning your system you should download Browser Hijack Blaster and run it whenever you are on the Internet. This will detect any attempt to alter your homepage setting and give you options.

Good luck
