IE follies

Hi! I have two problems regarding Internet Explorer. The first is that no matter how hard I try to change it, the start page or home page is always www.istarthere.com, which sucks. I tried changing it to www.excite.com and google.com a number of times, but as soon as I reboot the computer and Windows load up, the start page is istarthere.com again. The second problem is just as annoying. I often run multiple windows of IE together, but whenever a page finishes loading, that window pops up in front, which gets really annoying after a while, because usually I'm writing a mail or sending a post at the time and 80% of the time, I don't notice that that window popped up in front. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

The istarthere thing has hijacked your homepage. It is probably some sort of spyware somewhere on your computer. Download and run Ad-Aware and see if this gets rid of it.
