Website keeps changing my homepage!

www.Start-Space.com keeps becoming my homepage, it is usually google, which I want. How can I make this stop,
I have never been to start-space website until it showed
up one day as my homepage. I have spy-bot and it doesn't get rid of it.
Cleaning out my browser files doesn't help either.
I really HATe it when a site changes my homepage!
I use IE6, windows 98se
Thanks

If you have Adaware and Spybot on your system, run them. Something is on there that is changing the settings. If you don't have them, you can get them here:

Download and run The Cleaner, it does a good job with browser hijackers.

I updated Spy bot and it still didn't get rid of it, I am going to download The Cleaner and try it tonight.
