Download AdAware and install it. Run it, click "Scan Now" button in the left pane and select the radio button "Perform full system scan" and click "Start". Then rempve any malware it finds.
If this doesnt help you, then download HijackThis and unzip it to dedicated folder.
Then run it and click the button Do a System scan and save log file. HijackThis will perform a scan and saves the log file as hijackthis.log. Copy the entire contents of the file and post it here.

There arent any spywares on adultfriend. They must have asked you whether u wanna set it as ur homepage, you must have clicked yes.

Dude, he has been hijacked, and he needs to post his HJT log file, and there is no wrong in starting a new thread.

Certainly not, but these sites pay u if a vistor lands there with your referrer code... thought bout that
Now consider 5-7000 hopeless victims like this one contributing to yor purse everyday, round the clock, around the world - got the nice picture

So this is another intrusion/exploit trick that even makes some cash 4u... and ... well the usual HJT + (regedit:SpybotSD) shud be naf

sure your browsers homepage has been hijaked !

download, update and run adaware, ms antispyware and spybot.

then manually go to ie/tools/internet option, and change your homepage to whatever u want or best "about:blank".

then using any of the antispy programs mentioned above, LOCK you homepage.

u wont be forced to c something u dont want too !!!

Download MS anti-spyware & do a clean.
Then try spy sweeper as well. They did quite a good job for me....
Hope they will work for you too....
