For some reason, this strange "startpage-home.com" is able to hijack my Chrome's start page once awhile. From Chrome's settings,  I couldn't find anything like that on my add-on extension,  my Chrome's start page remains the start page I want, and my default search engine remains what I want. I can't find it from Regiedit either. 
Then I used Avast to scan my computer, nothing found. Avast also rates this site as "safe", but  I don't want this piece of sxxt hijack my browswer.  Any idea how I can remove this without buying some malware removal software?

Thanks.
