IE Homepage help (RESOLVED)

Currently have IE6, had problems with IE7 so reverted back to 6.

Problem in both IE6 or IE7, I am unable to set my homepage. I go into "Tools", "Internet Options" and go to "use current" and then apply, then ok. If I close this options menu, and go back to it, the orginal default is back as if I have not changed a thing... it is defaulting to the "gateway computer" website of www.gatewaybiz.com
Anyone know how to get rid of this, so I can set my homepage to google?

My System

Set it to google in Control Panel>Internet Options/Apply/Ok
Then immediately open SpywareBlaster and lock the home page.
Tools>Misc. IE Settings>put a check next to 'Disable the IE Home Page etc.'

If you don't have it get it here;
SpywareBlaster - Prevent spyware from ever being installed!
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html
When installed check for updates then 'Enable All Protection'.

What SB does;
# Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted software.
# Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
# Restrict the actions of potentially unwanted sites in Internet Explorer.

Homepage issued resolved, turned out not to be with Spyblaster, but that put me on the right track, Norton has a homepage lock feature that had to be disabled.

thanks again
