    Can you get to Yahoo.com? Go there and select the "Use Current" in the Internet Options.

    If after doing what NeedKarma suggests doesn't work, check for spyware using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.36 available from:

    Well, as suggested do check your computer for virus and spywares. Though even after removed, these softwares won't undo this.

    To change homepage,
    Just go to the Group Policy (Run-->gpedit.msc)and navigate to User Config >> Windows Settings >> Internet Explorer Maint >> URLs >> Important URLs and add your home page there.

    Or just open registry editor and navigate here
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
    And change value of Start Page.

    It won't work since he says he can't change his homepage which implied its locked by policy.
