I initially created a new entry in the registry on the client computer to fix this (set IE homepage to <a href="http://www.google.com" rel="ugc">www.google.com</a>&nbsp;permantently). Then the problem started spreading to other computers on the network. My colleague set a permanent homepage for everyone, using Group policy.

Internet explorer opens with an error page. It's home page gets automatically set to <a href="http://companyweb/" rel="ugc">http://companyweb/</a>. I have scanned for viruses and malware severally and also did system restore to the first week of this month. The error page was noticed just last week. Yesterday, after the system restore, the computer looked okay and IE homepage was Google. That changed again this morning. How can I stop this from happening and change the homepage permanently to Google? This is a Windows 7 computer. Is there a local policy that I can change to fix this? My malware scans had removed Babylon, conduit and other things. I deleted registry entries, the temp folder and other folders related to the popular malware already listed.¿
