i clicked on a link to see what it was and now it wont change as the homepage to my internet explorer. everytime i restart my computer it always go back to it as my homepage, how do i fix it?

Control panel -> internet options .

Thing for setting homepage should be right on the top.
If that doesnt work . IE it reverts back to realphx when you restart , youve might have some spyware type program you need to delete first.

Blah your not going to be able to delete that spyware, well if you have one. I suggest you bring it into a pro and let them look at it....If it gets worse...

Hell no , its not that hard to get rid of stuff like that , ust sometimes it takes a bit of digging around to find exactly what needs deleting .
Just takes some perseverance and a bit of luck and everything will be ok , no matter what spyware / adware is on your system

EDIT : Try changing your home page on interbnet options first.
if that doesnt work , run a search on your comp (start menu -> search ) and just choose to search for all files created today .
Delete all of em , unless youve installed /downloaded some important stuff today the worst you'll loose is a few cookies which means you just have to re-enter passwords on message boards etc.

EDIT 2 : If that fails then try this link

As the spyware may have some nasty self/re-installing registry files , delete the stuff it tells you are spyware in windows registry and everything should be ok .

i think they page is down though cuz when i opened up my browser it asked if i wanted to keep realphx on my computer to which i said no and it had a formal apology to anyone who got it stuck on their computer unwillingly...

Just run AdAware on your computer.

Adaware aint always that good . It doesnt find and get rid of everything.
