Boom home page problem

I am having problems keeping my homepage to the default that I want. This problem is at work where I am on a network server. So I have to login everyday and sometimes settings don't always stay. I go into the internet options and change the homepage to the one I want, but everytime I close IE it defaults to another page (http://topotun.com/index.htm) I believe it is spyware. I have run Ad-aware but that is no help. I am limited to what I can download and do because of administrator privilages. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Funkjet

Try SpyBot.

Because I am not an administrator and on a network, I am unable to download and run programs.

Before I log off my computer I change the homepage in the internet options and then log off hoping that it will save it on the server. Yet the next time I log in it has the changes don't save.

I also log onto more than one computer at work.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Contact someone in IT and ask them to run Spybot, as suggested above. That should take care of the problem.
