My IE6 Explorer Home page keeps getting changed. I keep resetting it manually but it keeps changing once again. How can I resolve this problem.

If it's not going back to the default page (Microsoft Internet Explore Home, or possibly MSN), then it sounds like you've been hijacked. Better to post in the "Security and Virus" forum...

VERY TRUE!

Your homepage HAS been hijacked!

It's an easy fix. Most adware/spyware removers will check for browser hijackers. There's also CWShredder:
