Can't change IE Homepage. Access to some websites are blocked?

Question

I have just installed an upgrade version of Norton Internet Security 2006 (been using it for the past 3 years). The pop-up ads have stopped. But can't seem to change the homepage to my own. It always goes back to "www.syssecuritysite.net"

And whenever I tried to access some websites, this page appears http://www.error404site.net/ with message at the top of the page "The page you are looking for is probably blocked my adware/spyware on your PC. Remove it with System Doctor. Click here."
