Angry Internet Explorer Woes

I have Windows XP and my precocious teenagers downloaded KaZaA along with all their spyware. My problem is this; now when they try to access INternet Explorer, instead of getting the home page (google) they get this:

C:\WINDOWS\eeiecrgrststvst.htm#URL

There is no way to get IE to change from this and it suddenly opens about 66 windows before XP shuts it down.

I have tried downloading several patches with no help.

Any ideas?

after the spyware is gone kazaa will no longer work. if they insist on having kazaa, look up kazaalite or klite on a google search, same thing without the spyware/scumware. i would normally post a link, but kazaa in any form is evil,..... viruses, porn,and lawsuits...oh my
