Explorer 7 Home Page Problem

I have recently been having problems with IE 7 and the home page function. I
have been trying to reset my homepage but IE does not allow me to do so. I
can change the page address in Internet Options, apply the changes and close
Internet Options but when I open it again, whether through Explorer or
through Properties on the Explorer shortcut, the original homepage is listed.

I have made sure that my computer is up to date using the update website but
it has not solved my problem. I haven't installed anything new on my machine
and have run comprehensive virus scans to no avail.

Has anyone come across this problem before? What can I do to solve it?

"I have been trying to reset my homepage but IE does not allow me to do so."

It's more likely your security software that is preventing the change,
as it should. To change your home page you'll have to find that setting
in your security software.

What's the home page it keeps going back to?

One or more options/settings in an ever-growing number of third-party
applications may be disallowing the change(s) from "sticking". These include
but are not limited to Ad-aware's Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea Timer,
SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor, Norton AntiVirus, McAfee
VirusScan and/or Antispyware, and Zone Alarm (Free, Pro, & Security Suite).
