With Win95 and IE5, I have picked up some creature that
upon start-up changes my home page to something
called "t.rack" something. As long as I do not re-boot ,
once I have changed back to my desired home page through
tools...internet options, it remains as desired.How do I
remove this annoyance from my system?

Update your anti-virus app and then run a full-system virus scan.

Use CWShredder, the removal tool:

In addition, install Ad-Aware 6 free edition, start it, click its 'Check for Updates' link in the app to install updates, then use it to scan your system, and remove what it finds.
Ad-Aware:

Download and run Hijack This, but don't remove anything with it yet:
