Everytime i open my IE, my homepage keeps changing.. I used spybot which has detected something but after I "fixed the problem" with spybot search and destroy, the system would look like it's clean again. But when i open my IE again after i reset the system, the homepage would change back to this search site.. Any Idea how i can remove this annoying spyware?!

Have you updated spybot since you downloaded it? I thought spybot had most of the current xupiter clones down pat. You need to note the name of this search site so you can find out exactly what bug you've caught, and how to get rid of it.

In the meantime, update Spybot, run it again, enable that built in auto-protect thing (i'm at work and can't check it) and ramp up your IE security settings! Oh yeah, and check you've got windows fully patched. Won't help with this one, but will help stop the next one.
