Your computer is infected with a trojan called Zlob. 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

Your PC is infected with a browser hijacker. Use these scans to remove it.

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.

It would have helped if you had included what your homepage was. If it is not your personal site, you have no control over where it redirects you as that is controled by the server.

1) You neglect to tell us WHAT the homepage is... hard to help!
2) Also indicate how the domain is registered and hosted to allow for people to help!

Is this only happening to you or everybody? It might be helpful if you provided a link to your homepage.

You could have spyware on your computer that is just redirecting you.

The other possibility is that your website got hacked. Who is it hosted with? A company or yourself? If you have hosting with a company you may want to contact their support.
