Your home page would have been hijacked by spy ware/ad ware.Check for other problems like - inability to open your registry editor and running msconfig command.
For remedies use a good anti spy ware/ad ware.There are many free downloads available for personal use. Avoid going to porno sites, p2p file sharing sites.
There are some resources at the following links

Yes it is a viris,if you dont have a viris protection you will want to get one. Make sure you remove all other viris protections from your computer before installing the new. Then run your viris protection and it should tell you what you have. Do this soon while your computer is still running ok.

sounds like you don't have a fireall which allowed a virus. go to Zone alarm and download their free product, it works like a charm or you can just check your computer for viruses on the web site,
