hey man:

1. Search for a file called svchosts.dll (not to be confused with the legitimate process svchosts.exe).

2. Rename this file to something else, like pain.dll (you can't delete svchosts.dll directly, as it's "in use").

3. Reboot the machine and go to Control Panel / Internet Options / Programs / Manage Add - Ons.

4. Disable HomepageBHO.

5. Don't forget to delete the .dll file.




.... Failing that, try:
