on your internet browser there should be a tab that says ,, 'allow pop ups' or 'pop ups ok' click on that and it'll block them,, whenever you need a pop up like for example you click onto something and it tells you that your pop up is blocked you just hold down your 'ctrl button and click what you need to go into it'll then come up~hope this helps

Your PC is infected with a browser hijacker,and that is why your hompage chcnges. use these scans to remove it. Both are free and safe to use.
Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

If you run microsoft windows: go to control panel- internet options-click on privacy tab. At the bottom click on pop up blocker save and your good. You'll get a notice under the top menu every time windows blocks a pop up.

Get a Pop Up blocker program, or set it up to work if you have one on your computer that you don't know you have already.
