Security Problem>>> Need Help!!!

Hi, Hope someone here can help me. The problem is: My Browser keeps getting
HiJacked despite Fort Knox Security. The Question is....What am I missing?

I am using windows xp home w/sp2 installed(but disabled)
in it's place I'm using Norton System Works, Fix it Utilities 6, Adaware SE,
Spybot S&d, Norton and Mcafee Clean Sweeps, I have run File Analyzer, Net
Analizer, Reg Analizer, Pop Up Blockers are: Windows(disabled), Nortons, MSN,
Yahoo.
I have disabled Remote Access, I have run MS Malware Tools, System is set to
erase all tracks when browser closes and is confirmed. All Updates are up to
date and run regularly. Checked all ports besides using all tools listed
above. also use yahoo spyware scanner. my system is set up (High Speed Cable)
Connected to router , to which I have Security enabled.I have checked for
hardware and software conflicts and all is fine. all system tools run come up
Zilch. I have scanned pc thru nortons and mcafee sites. I have scanned in
safe mode, I have done everything i can think of. I know somthing or someone
is getting into my system as I log on and my explorer page is different than
what I have it set to. and my OE settings keep getting messed with, which I
have to keep resetting. otherwise my system is 100% fine. I don't have any
error messages or hangs. So someone please tell me what I am doing Wrong
here. oh and another thing I noticed is my computer systems can be shut
completely off and router and modem keeps showing pc activity, although I
can't detect anything being sent or recieved. when i boot and logon as this
is happening it then quits. I have also shut down the other antivirus and run
AVG. I need some insight please.

Hello,

I will diagnose your machine for free and post the results back to the
group and update our rules with anything found:

I would run the diagnostic in Safe Mode in case any kernel drivers are
running. If I find anything, you can download Super Ad Blocker, scan
and remove, and then uninstall if you wish.

BootSafe - Making booting to Safe Mode a snap! 100% free product.

Let me guess, you are using IE and have active-x enabled? First, ditch IE
and in doing so you are also ditching active-x (which is crap anyway)...

Hotmail sent a password update to reset my password. Typed in new password,
clicked continue, page came back empty, filled in again, same thing! 20 times
later gave up! Tried forgot my password and got the scret question page,
won,t take my answer! Won,t send a e mail to other e mail address either! I,m
screwed! Tried that 10 times! 6 days later and no further ahead! and still
can,t use my hotmail address! All I get from hotmail is no help! There just
say reset your password! No good if you can,t remember what your secret
answer is 72 days ago! You not surposed to leave your password written down,
but surposed to remember what you did 72 days ago! Thanks hotmail for not
letting me use my hotmail!
