A friend of mine has the exact same problem. If you set the homepage to something else, it will be back the next time you run IE. It even comes back when you reboot...

I had downloaded ad-aware and while it found a few occurences of spy/adware...it didn't solve the "lolita" problem. Granted this was before version 5.8 came out...so I might try the new version of ad-aware and see what happens.

John Prophet said he found some registry entries...I might try that as well. I wonder if that worked for him?
