IE Hyjack by AOL And damage trying to fix

Hi,
My IE6 Homepage got set to aol. I have an HP XP Computer. Two Problems
#1. I noticed it would say something to the effect hp redirect aol. I
tried to fix via the tools/options menu but the aol address would go right
back. So we tried to edit the registry of values that redirected to aol. We
do NOT use aol but Earthlink. We did but now we have second problem.
#2. IE6 Icon on desktop will not start IE6. If you right click on it you
still get the normal context menu.

Finally while not a IE6 issue Earthlink tool bar does not start web when the
web button is pressed. This used to generate IE6 but with the home page
directed to AOL. We got rid of that but it killed both the Earthlink Toolbar
button and the IE6 Button on the desktop as explained.

Any ideas?

Run System Restore to undo your registry changes and install SpywareBlaster.
You can set SB so that your homepage cannot be changed in Tools|Internet
Properties. In the future make a System Restore point immediately before
making any manual registry changes.
