If you changed your home page the first answer will get it back. You can set any page you wnat.
But if something else is changing your homepage, you have a browser hijack. Try running Spybot Search and Destroy in safe mode.
You may need to switch off System Restore as back up files may be hiding in there, and it will just restore itself. Go to Start - programs - accessories - system tools - system restore.
Run your anti spyware in Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode repeatedly press the F8 key after the bios screen loads but before Windows loads. You'll know if you made it because the screen will be at 800 x 600 and your pc will be slow.
Hopefully it will remove the infection, and you can then restart in normal mode and check everythings ok.
Then use the Immuniser in Spybot S&D plus the Teatimer settings, and install Spywareblaster.
These will help prevent problema in future.
You need all these anti spyware programs;
http://www.ewido.net - AVG(Ewido) anti trojan.
http://www.safer-networking.org - Spybot Search and Destroy anti spyware. Use the Teatimer settings to protect Internet Explorer, and the Immuniser to stop malware getting on your pc.
Spywareblaster works with Internet Explorer and Firefox. It won't uninstall spyware that is already on your pc, but it will prevent hijacks and other malicious changes to your browser.
