After a brief visit to an XXX site (by my brother) my IE homepage automatically resets to this site every time I Restart my computer. I have deleted my cookies. I have deleted everything out of my temporary internet files. I go into Internet options and reset the homepage to what I want it to be, but when I restart the computer, that XXX site is set as the homepage.

PLEASE HELP!!

That's pretty funny. Probably have some program that automatically starts up and resets your home page everytime you reboot. Check your startup folder. Then change your folder options so that you see all hidden folders and files. See if there are any programs/folders that looks suspecious.

if you went to an xxx site and it asked you to d/l something and you did, that's probably causing it. Delete all the exe files you got from the site (not the pics of course ;) ) It never happened to me before because i don't d/l strange exe files.... neither should anyone unless its coming from a reliable source. :) reset the homepage, and run msconfig to disable any naughty stuff. :D
