Can anybody suggest a reason why my IE has stopped working for no apparent
reason? My mail etc is working but my Homepage just doesn't open!

Try hyjackthis. I can't remember the site, but try www.download.com and see
if it is there. Good luck. Also try add aware and spybot S&D Also, scan your
system with an antivirus program. Good luck.

9/10 chances you've been "homepage hyjacked" <- google around with the
quoted words.

Most likely its spyware. Download ad aware, run it, and see what happens.
