You've been hijacked.

If you haven't already, using the two programs below regularly is always a good idea.

AD-AWARE LINK
SPYBOT LINK

Make sure to update the programs after downloading and installation, then scan your PC.

Delete everything the programs find; all deletions are reversible.

If you still have problems after using Spybot and Ad-Aware, download HijackThis, scan your PC, and post the log in the Security & Virus forum here at Computing .net.

PS A couple of online trojan scanners:

PC Flank LINK
Trojan Scan LINK

Or,if you already have SpyBot S&D installed,make sure that under the "Immunize" section,you have "Lock IE startpage setting against user changes" UNCHECKED.

Try to search the net for a program called CWSHREDDER

It's designed to remove hijacked startpages ! :-)
