get a adware/spyware program, and get a virus program, run them often..
Change the homepage yourself.
With the internet browser up, go to tools>internet options>on the home page option, go to the site you want and then with the internet options taskbar up click current. Or with the http:// fill it in yourself....EX: yahoo would be: http://www.yahoo.com

1) Call your attorney
2) Sue the bastards that did this to you!
3) When in doubt, Litigate, Litigate, Litigate!
Someone has taken control of your PC remotely and is plotting your untimely death, Good luck.
