Home Address changed by a PARASITE?

Mar 3, 2004 10:51AM PST

I set my Control Panel, Internet Options, General Home Address to: http://www.comcast.net/comcast.html and after accessing the Internet a few times it has http://searchexe.com/passthrough/index.html? added to and ahead of the original address and messes up my logon to my Comcast home page.
I have used extensive SpyBot cleaning cycles of my system to the point where there is no problems running SpyBot. I also ran a Parasite checker and all is clean. Anyone come across this problem and how to clean it up? I suspect Registry problems which I tend not to play around with.

Thanks for any help.
