Unhappy Homepage hijack ,again

Another dammed search engine has instaled itself as my homepage, cannot get shot of it by going to internet setting and reselecting my home page, had this once before and got rid of it eventually can't remember how now.
The swine thing sailed in past Spybot and Zone alarm(incidently the earlier version of zone alarm was better than the present one I have installed)
Someone on another website suggested a free prog called CW Shredder, but I could never get it to run it kept asking for a DLL my machine apparently did not have.
Any ideas on how to be rid of this intrusive bastard?, it irritates the cacky out of me


Now I think on it, the last time I was advised to look for a particular key in the registry,I deleted same with regedit and that did the trick, had a look in the registry and there dosen't seem to be anything there that doesn't belong.
Can't use the "Find" to track this swine down because it just comes up as blank in the URL slot at the top.
