spyware or virus ?

[Parisian]

Hi,
I cannot change my start page (IE6 ou IE7) : I am driven
directly to http://www.live.com/?searchonly=true, even if deleting or
replacing this adress .
In the register , even if I change the Microsoft adress Microsoft in the
entry
"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page =
http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dll?prd={SUB_PRD}&clcid={SUB_CLSID}&pver={SU B_PVER}&ar=home",
entry is automatically restored, and I am still sent to "Windoxs live", that
I don't know and don't want to use.
Plus, I didn't install any soft, such as Winpatrol or
Spybot...
What can I do, thanks by advance,.

To answer me, replace"dots" by dots...

I can't really believe that any spyware or another form of malware
would install simply to change your homepage to Microsoft's Live
homepage, but none the less, please download, update, and do a full
scan using the following programs:
SUPERAntiSpyware:

AdAware: http://www.download.com/3001-8022_4-10399602.html
avast!: http://files.avast.com/iavs4pro/setupeng.exe

If it finds anything, remove it. Post if you still have any problems.

Thanks a lot, my problem is now solved, after using several anti-spywares.
Have a nice day.
