Everytime I restart my computer it resets the homepage to www.find4u.net and adds a bunch of cites to my favorites. I ran hijackthis and this is the log that came up:

Had the same problem and here is the fix!
Delete winlogon.exe out of all users\start menu\programs\startup. this is not supposed to be there since winlogon runs way before the startup! It is a bogus program that changes your browers homepage as well as your lmhost.sam file.

Next check your lmhost.sam file that is under C:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc. When you open lmhost.sam with notepad you will need to delete everything below 127.0.0.1 localhost. This should solve your problem!
