Homepage Hijack!

Help! I’ve been infected through the Internet and my Homepage is defaulting to something pretty nasty. I’ve tried absolutely everything to get rid of it, even re-installing Windows (98), though as it’s an upgrade I can’t even do that. So I’ve been exploring the Registry and I think I’ve found the problem.
If I follow path: Local Machine > Software > Microsoft > Internet Explorer > Main, I can see that my default, local and homepage entries have been re-set to C:\WINDOWS etc…. (the url of the offending website). But if I change them to the page of choice they just re-set themselves straight away. Please, please someone tell me what to do in the Registry to put things right! As I say, I don’t seem to be able to re-install Windows, and I’ve tried every Registry-fixing programme under the sun, so I’m sure the Registry is the place if only I knew what to do! Many thanks.
