Home page hijacker

jon2432

Any one know how to stop this site http://www.bestsecurityguide.com/ from hijacking my IE homepage. I've done sweeps with spyware blaster & spybot. Everytime i change it to MSN it goes back to the above address. Major pain.

Cheers

Thanks for the suggestions so far. Not much luck. I figure it must be something in the registry. Scanned my computer with everything as reccomended. Still goes back to hijacked site.
