Reply: (edit)That's a HOMEPAGE hijack. Easy to fix.
Download SPYBOT and AD AWARE and run their scans. Also, SPYBOT has a HOME PAGE LOCK feature (In the IMMUNIZE section), to avoid this in the future. SPYBOT www.security.kolla.de
AD AWARE - www.lavasoft.com

Reply: (edit)Go to http://www.lurkhere.com/ and get SpyBot and Adaware. If they do not solve your problem get "hijackthis" from the same website and it will definitely stop the homepage hijack.

Reply: (edit)Just to add to the 2 previous replies, both of which are good, if you use hijackthis, it generates a log. You would need to copy and paste the entire log into a post here or at the forums at spywareinfo.com. Someone will check it and tell you what needs to be deleted.
