Hi.
I suggest you try several things. Start IE 11. Click Tool Internet
Options, and then click the advance tab. At the bottom of the window you
will see a Reset button. Click the reset and follow the prompts to reset
IE 11. Make sure you check your installed programs to be sure
sweetim.com updater is not there too. The last thing I would try is to
do a system restore using restore points gotten to through the Control
Panel.
I have added a link to read about the processes in more detail that I
tried to describe. I don't recommend clicking anything on the page but I
think there are good details to remove sweetim.com.

Every time I set it, via Internet Options it changes, but when I open then close IE and restart, it goes back to the home page I don't want or even know how it got there.

I've deleted all cookies, temporary internet files, and everything I could find but nothing is working to get rid of that internet address from being my home page.
