   This is what Hijackthis (hjt) was written for. The reason it warns against   
   just deleting everything is because it can't tell what's a "good" add-on   
   (say, Adobe Acrobat) vs a "bad" add-on (whatever it is that highjacked your   
   start page).   
      
   What you need to do is run hjt and carefully review *everything* on its list.   
   Every setting, every file, *everything*. If you don't recognize something,   
   *I* would disable it... but make sure you have hjt set to write a log.
