MSN has muscled in somehow.
(msn.co.nz/?ocid=iehp)

Have reset it in internet options but dosent help.
Have scanned with malwarebytes, superantispyware & msse.
Also scanned in safe mode.
Superantispyware always seems to find tracking cookies.
CCleaner is happy & no search bars installed.

1302877 2012-09-23 07:13:00 Check the most recent MS updates. I reckon one of the optionals threatened to do this. Also offered Bing as your IE default search engine... PeeCeeWorldly (15890)
1302878 2012-09-23 10:54:00 You could be right, but it dosent help me sort the problem. Driftwood (5551)
1302879 2012-09-23 22:58:00 Have reset it in internet options but dosent help. bit more detail on that please - if you go into the Internet options, and hit the reset button, it will default to MSN.

Normally you would go to Google manually, then open Internet options, use current. If you are using IE and go to google it usually pops up along the top, a blue bar asking if you want to make google your home page - two Options -- Sure and No thanks.

1302882 2012-09-24 01:04:00 i have noticed whenever i logout of hotmail i get similar issue to yours but i just ignore it and go to google Nhashon (16466)
1302883 2012-09-24 01:08:00 No other browsers & no tool bars.
Not running chrome either.

1302885 2012-09-24 01:23:00 Have you physically typed your home page address in then click on the apply button at the bottom. Don't just click on use current, use default or use blank as I find that doesn't work.
