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.

AD AWARE - www.lavasoft.com

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.

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.
