MSN Hijacks home page in IE7

I accidentally clicked on Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>Reset while trying to clear my browsing history. Now even after I reset my home page, every time I open IE7 or click on the Home button, I am directed to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=69157. I deleted this entry in the registry and replaced it with my desired home page, yet it still reverts to this page. I have seen other similar problems posted on the net but it seems they are related to an issue with Norton and/or SpyBot. I don't use Norton nor SpyBot. I have AVG anti-virus, AdAware and CounterSpy. Any help would certainly be appreciated!

 

try win patrol, this will alert you if any programes try to change home page or add start up programes

Thanks. AdAware does the same thing. I just get tired of it popping up every time I open IE asking for permission for IE to change my homepage back to MSN. IE should not do this, it never did before I ******* up and selected Reset Internet Explorer settings. By the way, AdAware is a great program for blocking browser hijack attempts. And it's free.
