There are other threads relating to this problem. In short, download and run Spybot and Ad-aware, with the latest updates And then use a reg cleaner - I use ashampoo - but there are others out there.

Hi
With regards to your problem of some Porn Website comming up as your home page is termed as IE Hijacked

You can try out this

Visit this Link
http://www.download.com/3001-8022_4-10379544.html

Download a Utility Called Hijackthis.exe
Run it ( You will need to have Winzip installed in your comp )
Once you Unzip the File
You will get a Utility called Hijackthis.exe
Double Click to Run It
You will get a Warning Message that this is unsafe. Click Yes
Then Click Ok ( If another Instruction Box Comes Up )
Then Click the button named "Do a System Scan Only"
Hijack this will scan and give you a log file
Put a check mark in front of the entries that start with the letter " R "
Then Click on the button named " Fix Checked "
Then Exit the Tool
Restart the Comp
Reset your home page
Then Try
and let me know
