The rb003.cab,rb002.cab files are backup files of your registry. They should be there and have a fairly recent date. There is a virus out there that messes with home pages like you describe. You might check in your registry for the contents of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Start Page

You should be able to see your current home page. If you don't then you've got a problem. This virus lives in standard html files (asp,htm) to prevent code like this from executing in the future (big help now I know ) Microsoft has a patch for this. Info here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q275609

More info on a similar virus can be found here: http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=99066

I think a good Anti Virus software should find and clean, but some verbage about Windows ME users worth reading if it applies to you.

Hope that helps.

ps. if you need help seeing getting into your registry just let me know - and (nag nag nag) while using Windows always stay current with MS updates.
