Try deleting your temporary internet files and/or cache and see if this fixes it ... you may have adware on your system which is changing it so try running a scan with an adware removal tool

Oh my poor dear... you have a virus / spyware on your computer.
Download AVG* - it's an anti-virus. Install it, update it, then scan your computer. Remove anything it finds. If it can't remove it look up "whateveritsaiditwas removal tool" in google.
Download Spybot Search & Destroy* and Ad-aware SE*. Install them and update them. Then scan your computer with them one at a time. Remove whatever it finds. f it can't remove it look up "whateveritsaiditwas removal tool" in google.
While you're at it you should get Zonealarm* - it's a firewall and will keep people out of your computer as well as tell you when something's trying to go on the internet (a lot of viruses and spyware send info home).
In the future I'd suggest you use more secure programs to go on the internet.
If you use Internet Explorer / MSN Explorer / the blue e do one last thing with it - download Firefox*. Then DROP Internet Explorer from use.
Firefox* is like Internet Explorer but much, much better. It's faster, more secure, more customizable, more up-to-date. It blocks pop-ups and sites from installing software on your computer.
There are so many free add-ons to Firefox* they'll make your head spin. My recommendations are:
Adblock Plus* - blocks ads. Iframe ads, flash ads, banner ads. It needs examples of what to block, so also use:
Adblock Filterset.G Updater* - loads in a very good filter for Adblock.
If you use Outlook I'd recommend switching to Thunderbird* - it does the same thing but much, much better. You can create filters that look at the subject or what's actually said in the e-mail. Outlook will only let you filter e-mails by looking at the e-mail address it came from.
*All of the programs mentioned are FREE, and their links are below.

You probably have a spyware that redirects your Internet Explorer to their sites. You need to destroy that Spyware. Ad-Aware is good and Free also Spybot -Search and Destroy also Free. If you can, type in the site's name or address in google to find out if information is available concerning this spyware. Sometimes it recreates itself although you destroyed it. It has more than one file in the registry that replicates itself. Good Luck!

You have a classic case of Syware that takes over. Ad-Aware or Spy bot may get ridof it but I suspect you may need something a little stronger such as Spy Sweeper.

Sounds like you've been hijacked. I would get Adaware SE, you can search for it at www.download.com. Install it and run a full system scan and see what comes up. Your going to want to delete EVERYTHING that pops up, just in case your wondering.
