This wierd website called protectionband.com has invited itself to my PC without my consent. I've tried everything I know to remove it but no luck. Please tell me how to get rid of protectionband.com.

I am assuming that you do not have an antivirus program on your computer or one that can't detect this virus. I suggest you download AVG antivirus and remove this from your system immediately!! Go to this page and download it. It's free. http://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10342876.html
Your computer is infected with a trojan called Zlob and that's why you see the NetWorm-i.Virus@fp messages. Zlob hijacks your homepage to protectionband.com and generates warning messages to try and get you to buy fake programs such as SpyDawn, SpyHeal, Antivermins and others. Of course it is important to get rid of protectionband.com, but its just as important to also remove the Zlob Trojan that implanted it there. In my experience, a program called SpyNoMore is your best bet in removing the Zlob trojan. By removing this trojan, you will also get rid of protectionband.com. Another symptom of Zlob Trojan is that it generates fake warning messages like:
System Alert
Critical System Error
System Performance monitor warning
Security Alert: NetWorm-i.Virus@fp
Security Warning: SpyBot@MXt trojan
W32.Myzor.FK@yf

go to spyhunter.com and download it run it and note the locations of the infections. now u can buy it and remove automatically or you can manually remove the problems from your pc. if your not familier with the windows registry i would say buy it and cleanse your system. if you can do it manually great. also windows defender is a free one but that found bugger all when my system was infected :)
if you can backup all your data you need as you maybe faced with the choice of a software rebuild - these malware/spyware hijacks really are not nice. goodluck and all the best

I guess you have a nice BHO in your browser (Browser helper object) or your PC is infected with a trojan called Zlob
