If you have Internet explorer, go to Tools and click on Internet options. Change the home page to yahoo. If you don't have IE than i cant help you.

As I understand the site you currently have as your homepage, (I went there just a minute ago) it is a site to help with computer security problems.
You probably have a computer virus. This happened to me when I used kazaa
First, a virus might have gotten on to your computer, and the hacker who made the virus might have programmed it to permanently make a "security site" your homepage out of sarcasm.
Second, you might have gone to this site because you were having computer security difficulties. Off of the site http://www.download.com you can find tens if not hundreds of free antivirus, anti-trojan horse, and anti spyware programs, most of which are free.
Finally, I tried out a few links on that security website, and the prices are a BIG FAT SCAM. Trust me, I know about software, and 50 dollars for anti-spyware etc. software is too much.
The solution:
go to download.com and download the necessary antivirus etc. software that you need. If one program does not work try another --from a different company--. I have read in many a pc magazine that spyware companies will pay the makers of antispyware software to not detect solely their spyware - good luck!

If you are using IE browser, go to Tools and click on Internet Options at the bottom. In the resulting dialogue box, type the required url and there you are !!

Click tools, Internet Options, then type the address you want to be your homepage in the Address box.

You have a Trojan hijacker that has taken over your computer, and probably much more. Get cleaned.
Good starts for cleaning are....
SpySweeper: http://www.webroot.com/
Norton's Anti-Virus: http://symantec.com/
PC Hell: http://www.pchell.com/support/spyware.shtml

you have adware infesting your pc, go to windows.com and do a search of adware removal, and go to your own security system and do a virus/adware scan.
