Assuming you have run a complete updated AV scan, as well as AdAware and Spybot, you might try CWShredder as well. Did you post your Hijack This log on the Security and Virus forum?

srinu99, my first thought is some sort of nasty resetting your homepage. One of the 'features' of XP is restore. Under that, the registry gets rewritten with each bootup and thus a nasty can get replicated and seemingly keep coming back. I'd disable restore, SCAN, re-enable restore and see if that does the trick. If not, there are stand alone programs which will prevent any change in homepage. Take a look at : http://www.cexx.org/hphijack.htm for more info on the subject. HTH. Ed in Texas.
