well it seems like a spyware has run into ur pc and changed ur defualt internet page settings just try to uninstall the program from add remove serivce and then install a good sptware removal software such as Adaware 6.0 and try removing all the registry entries and change ur internet page settings to default. this should do the trick.

Default Try this out

run norton antivirus.
and perform the full system scan. the norton will find the infected file but will be unable to delete the file.
just delete it your self.
and WOILA the spyware is gone

in Norton Antivirus, only NAV 2004 can detect spywares, earlier versions don't have this option

I love spyware....just kidding. get ad-aware if you're bored (lavasoftusa.com) and then run a full-scan which will take a loooooong time. they have some 'live' program too that detects spyware as soon as it is installed. it hink it also doubles as a firewall because it will keep saying : so and so is trying to access the internet, allow or deny. oh yeah its called adwatch
