Some websites illegally modify your registry editor and set their website as default home page.
For example if you download megaupload toolbar or some other spyware and trojan like starwarez,starware,hotoffers etc change your homepage to their site or some other porn websites making it difficult to go away and always waste bandwidth for those ads.To prevent this from happening follow this procedure,
1. Right-click on the Internet Explorer icon on your desktop and select "Properties".
2. In the "Target" box you will see something like "C:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE".
3. Now add the URL of the site you would like to be your homepage to the end of this.This will override any homepage setting in internet options:
Suppose if you put something like this in your target box
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" www.eurekatips.com
then your homepage will be www.eurekatips.com forever and no other site could manipulate it.Any other problems mention in the comments.I will be ever ready to help.
