Lewis, go here and download Spyware Guard.  
http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareguard.html

It's a free anti-browser-hijacker program and it works very well - I routinely install it on all my computer builds.  

After it's installed you can check it's effectiveness by going to IE Tools\Internet options and attempt to change your homepage location.  Spyware Guard will warn you of the attempt and ask if it's ok.

They also do Spyware Blaster, which is an excellent tool for eradicating spyware.

  Subject: [PCSOFT] IE Address


  Seems like some off shore gambling web site has taken over my Internet
  Explorer Address bar.

  Everytime I try to go online, instead of opening to my opening page, IE
  attempts to connect to this other site.

  I have gone into IE tools/Internet options/Home Page and change the
  address to my regular opening page. It switches back to the gambling site
  address the next time I use IE. Can not figure out how to get ride of
  this address. Do not know where IE stores such addresses.

  Can anyone help me? I am running Win ME.
