First of all, one of the easiest wey to stop online attacks is, STOP USING INTERNET EXPLORER. Ever noticed that add ons can be attached to that particular browser only. As well it uses ActiveX controls, whether you need it not. which allows your computer to be identified. Both Netscape and the latest versin of Firefox gives you the option to use ActiveX when it's actually needed.
Secondly, I would not recommend AVG to anyone. It's crappy and useless. Iknow from having to deal with repairs on infected systems that ran AVG. I would recommend AntiVir Personal edition, whic 100% free, updates and all. http://www.free-av.com.
This is what Linux users use when compelled to run Windows.
The recommendation to use Spybot, I totally agree with, it is the only Spyware/Adware program that identifies and removes Trojans.
Finally it appears that you are not running a firewall for something like this to have happened. Windows firewall if running on your system is quite effective. You need to ensure that it's on. If you are using a system that doesn't, I personally recommend the stand alone Firewall from Symantec, Norton Personal Firewall 2005. (You can get a free 90 day dwwnload) Will be enough for you for now. The 2005 edition includes an ad blocking software that is not in 2006 that would prevent you from clicking on things that you shouldn't. I hope this helps.
Finally go to the Microsoft site and run an update. That should do it.
And young man stop looking at porn, I'm pretty sure thats where it came from.
And I wish some of you would read, he's 13 he can't afford to buy anything.

You've got a Hijacker on your computer...go here, and download this program...
HijackThisHijackThis : A general homepage hijackers detector and remover. Initially based on the article Hijacked!, but expanded with almost a dozen other checks against hijacker tricks. It is continually updated to detect and remove new hijacks. It does not target specific programs/URLs, just the methods used by hijackers to force you onto their sites. As a result, false positives are imminent and unless you are sure what you're doing, you should always consult with knowledgable folks (e.g. the forums) before deleting anything.
A rudimentary HijackThis log tutorial by me is available here.
The official HijackThis QuickStart for posting on the SpywareInfo forums is available here.
Currently at version: 1.99.1
-> http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip
Then go here a copy and paste the results of the scan and it will tell you what to delete... http://www.hijackthis.de/
Now if you're still not sure, go to a security forum for Hijackthis...they will have people there to help you and tell you exactly what to delete...

go to www.avg.com You will have to clk around a bit and get the free version of AVG anti-virus. This should clean your machine for now and you can pursue getting a permanent anti-virus.
You could also look at www.download.com to see what is offered free there.
Good Luck
