Default How do I get rid of Browser Hijack?

I never use Internet Explorer, we use Mozilla.

When we run a virus/spy-scan, this thing pops up

BROWSER HIJACK INTERNET EXPLORER SETTINGS HIJACK. We do the scan, it gets rid of this, but ten minutes later, if I did another scan, THERE IT IS AGAIN.

It's in the registry.

We use Super Antispyware Professional.

I went to google and tried to find a way to get this thing out of my computer but it's over my head.

Oh, when we first run Super Anti Spyware, it pops up saying

"WE HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS IS TRYING TO CHANGE YOUR HOME PAGE (on IE). Allow change? Block change?

I select Block Change.

Then I run the scan.

Makes absolutely no difference. This has been there all week. No matter how many scans I do, the Hijack thing is still there.

Anyone know how I can permanently delete this Browser Hijack thing?

Much Appreciated.

Melody
