Depends on the country where you live, but even then it can be next to impossible to trace them culprits and even if you do, if they're in Another Country, you're not likely to get very far.

Most anti-virus software have browser hijacking protection of some kind.

If yours doesn't get a copy of ad-aware from www.lavasoft.de, it's total free (except the pro version). This will scan and find any spyware and browser hijacking objects and delete them.

When downloaded, make sure you do an update to get the latest pattern files etc..

Do a full scan, when done right-click and click "Select All Objects", then go to the other window tab and do the same. Then click "Next" and accept the warning.

Run it at least once a month.

That should take care of any browser hijack attempts.

Also, make sure your operating system is up to date. If using Windows XP, install Service Pack 2. The firewall is much better than it was and is enabled by default now.

What is the code to create web browser using HTML?

You can not create a browser using HTML--you would have to use some other programming language. In order to make a browser which can read HTML, you basically just need something that can correctly parse SGML and display it in an intelligent way--technically, to read HTML it doesn't even need to give the text the styles, an example is the text-only Lynx browser.
