You have a major spyware/adware problem. And this is the worst type of spyware because its the type that falsely claims to be safe even though something more sinister is working against you in the background.
Run your system restore utility and go back to the earliest date that it will allow.

Download Windows Defender for free from Microsoft. Requires XP SP2, and without SP2 your OS is poorly defended already.

Hi,
You need to remove that site from your default home page. Open your browser and go to Tools Options.
Then search for that website url (usually next to something like: Default homepage). Remove that URL ...
Use noadware to remove adware and spyware. You can also check if you are infected before purchasing anything.
I suggest: http://www.deletespyware-adware.com/

Congratulations? You have managed to download a page hijacker! Try spybot search and destroy, adaware, yahoo anti spy, and with luck it will remove this hijacker! Now think twice about what you download! You will also need to uninstall any software that may have had this infestation in it or it will come right back!

You didn't happen to download Webshots did you? Steer clear of it everyone; it's nasty.
