Home page problems

I have a random search page as my home page for some unknown reason. It isnt a problem except im unable to change it back to normal!

If i go to internet ops n change it it works when i first open the internet, but if i open a second window its back to the dodgy page. I have deleted my temp internet file and cookies, put my history down to 0 days - didnt shift it.

Have ran sbybot and ad-aware, they didnt remove it, ran anti-virus still no luck!

When i go to properties it says
Protocol: Unknown
Type: not available
Conection: not encrypted
Address: about:blank
everything else is "not available"

Anybody have any ideas?

you've been infected by this "coolwebsearch" trojan or browser hijack... i'll ask him how he fixed it.. it took a very long time... but for now try looking up coolwebsearch in google for some help
