Try the free trial on windows live care. This will clear up your pc and keep you protected for 3 months. I am currently using it and my pc is in good shape

You can go into your browser preferences and click on the General icon then click on the button to choose a blank page.
That will prevent the objectionable material from appearing.
Like previous person mentioned you also need to use anti-spyware software. You can also try lavasoft.com, they have a free version available for download.
Most ISPs provide firewall/anti-virus and anti-spyware tools free.

I had this problem once before myself. I think it is just spyware taking over ur homepage just trying to get u to buy their software. i just went to yahoo and clicked set yahoo as homepage. u should also get something to remove spyware.

Try to download and install spybot from the following web-site www.spybot.com. This will help you to delete the unwanted stuff installed in your computer.
FYI it's free!
GOOD LUCK!
