I have a virus on my desktop computer that affects the startpage and I have removed it over and over again. Yet it still comes back and the computer is not even running on the internet anymore.

sounds like a browser hijacker...try using CWShredder to get rid of it
http://ssu.firewebx.com/extras/CWShredder.zip
be sure to update it before scanning and if it automatically closes run it again and it will change the name in the titlebar to something random because some hijackers auto close popular tools to remove them.
