alps6,

There are several programs that hijack your start page and make other undesirable changes to your system. What is the URL of the new start page that is being inserted?

One way to get rid of many of these programs is to run AdAware, a spyware removal utility which you can download from here.

It looks like the gohim.com junk. Follow the directions at the following link: http://www.gohip.com/remove_browser_enhancement.html

As Denny Suggested you should also download adaware 5.6 from lavasoftusa.com and remove any other spyware you have on your system.
