Download, install and run - Ad-aware, SpyBot, and Avast from http://www.download.com/
If this doesn't work, change the home page using the internet options window and edit your hosts file ( C:/WINDOWS/ system32/drivers /etc/ minus the spaces, i added those so you could see the whole path).

What is your homepage? It sounds like it is an ad for that particular product. It is up to the company who owns the homepage you are using to keep and monitor their ads. If it bothers you that much then send an e-mail to them complaining. Other than that you will have to live with it.

If all fails, do a system restore to date when it was not on the PC. Start/help/type system wizard and follow wizard.
Hope this helps virus is a pain in the bu**
