Help!!! - Home Page Hijacked

[bsb]

Hi!

I am using Windows XP. I am facing following problems with IE6

(i) My home page has been hijacked.my page is redirected to some www.quicknews.info which is soon redirected to some other links.

(ii) Can not set new home page in tools>internet options... as the option is disables

(iii) Regedit has been disabled. I get a message registry editor disabled by adminstrator.

(iv) I can see the entry 'quicknews.info' on 'hijackthis' log. but fixing/deleting the entry does not help.

(v) I understand, the malaware or whatever it is has infected my pendrive too. Its getting difficult to open the files or even saving new files in the drive.

Can anyone please help before I re-format the hard disk. Is there any surefire method to remove such hijackers/spyware/malaware.
