Why do I keep getting hijacked?

Hi,

At x-mas our son got on this computer and went to some adult sites, and ever since our homepage keeps getting hijacked. I'll reset it to www.cox.net and click apply and it always returns to this res://mshp.dll/index.html#37049 I looked at your FAQs and downloaded spybot s/d but it has not helped. I try to listen to your program but I'm one of those Nasty freeway construction workers that has the freeways closed on the weekends. any help you can offer would be great!

Thanks,

Darrin Lewis
