I must have accidently downloaded something farked up .. but neways .. everytime i start windows and open Internet explorer (even though i set it back to the way i want it before i turn off) it keeps goin back to the same 'Home' page and this farked up 'search' toolbar keeps coming back.
how do i stop it?!?!

could be some kinda "spyware" or soemthing in your startup items importing a simple registry key that changes it.
is it after you reboot the computer or just close and open IE that its set back ?
if its only when you reboot the machine that suggests to me theres soemthing in your startup items
