Many suggestions deal with how to remove the Spyware or Hijacker that is causing the problem, which is fine.

These 'Homepage-changing-bugs' are downloaded silently as you visit certain websites. I assume you do not know which site infected your PC, therefore chances of re-infection are very high, as you will probably revisit whatever site you picked it up from soon.

There is some cutting-edge information to be found on this issue here

PS. Will need a 'sticky' with this info. soon...
