just remove it
go to yahoo.com
it says--make yahoo my home page
click on that
or---
Open the Web site that you want to set as your home page in Internet Explorer.
Click Tools, click Internet Options, and then click Use Current. Restart your computer, and then restart Internet Explorer. If the issue is resolved, do not follow the remaining steps.
Obtain and run a current antivirus program, with up-to-date virus definitions (signatures), and follow the instructions for cleaning or removing any viruses that are found. Microsoft does not provide software to stop virus infections or to clean infected computers. You may want to contact an antivirus software vendor for more information about how to remove a virus from your computer and how to help prevent future infections. If your computer has been infected, it may be open to additional forms of attack

You now have a virus. do a full system scan (after updating you virus scanner to the latest definitions). it may be serious and it may not. After you have done that change your home page back to what you want. Next........stay away from porn sites, the second easiest way to get a virus.
