That's IE's default start webpage. You should be able to click Tools> Internet Options> and change the home page.but my homepage keeps changing back to that dayam MSN website
It could be Ad-Watch that's stopping the changes:
This to Disable AdWatch
Please disable AdWatch, as it may hinder the removal of some entries. You can re-enable it after you're clean.
To disable AdWatch:
Open AdAware SE.
Go to AdWatch User Interface.
Go to Tools and Preferences.
At the bottom of the screen you will see 2 options Active and Automatic.
Active: This will turn Ad-Watch On\Off without closing it
Automatic: Suspicious activity will be blocked automatically
Uncheck both options. You can enable these after resolving your problem.
· From a computer that has Internet access, click on the following link:
http://www.new.net/s...install6_90.exe.
· Download and save uninstall6_90.exe to the Desktop.
· Go to the Desktop and double-click on uninstall6_90.exe
· Click on the OK button.
· After removal, you may be prompted to reboot. Please reboot even if not prompted.
Let me know how it's doing now.

NewDotNet can cause you to loose your internet connection. Get winsockxpfix.exe just in case. Download it before removing NewDotNet.
Get a copy of winsockxpfix.exe You just run it and
things should work OK after it reboots your system.
