Cant get new home page?
every time i log on it doesnt go to the home page i selected in internet options it goes to an ad ware site, and when ever i try to type in the home page site on the addy line it goes back to the adware site, no matter what site i designate as the home page, it blocks it and goes to the other adware site. I ve run adware se, spybot and still have the same problem

You need something much more powerful. I had a similar problem and fixed it by getting a really good anti-spyware program. One of the best and also one which does not cost the earth is CounterSpy.
Try their free scan before you buy.

use some recommended anti spyware like SpyBot, Ad aware, Spyware Terminator ( be assured that you dont install more than 1 anti spyware at a time, or it will clash with each other ), keep them updated and run a full system scan ( not quick scan ).If no effect Back Up all your items and then please reformat you PC.

you've been hijacked. sounds like Smit Fraud, google it.
btw this is probably not fixable with spybot or adaware, need smit removal tool.
