Do NOT click anything on your homepage.
Run a FULL virus scan with Norton, Mcaffee, or AVG Anti-Virus.
Run Ad-Aware when you remove the virus, as well. Clean your temporary internet files and remove your history and forms.

First, you should find out how many pests you have,and what kind of malware it is.
Go to www.Infected Or Not.com or http://www.nanoscan.com and run a TotalScan there. It's the newest Panda Software mega detection tool. You can try it for free at the "Infected or Not?" web site as part of a promotion. It has more virus definitions than anything else, and it detects all forms of malware, not only viruses.
The site is safe, it's owned by Panda, you can check that on nic.com

You have been hit by a homepage hijacker. The most effective and best removal method is to hard format and reinstall windows from scratch.
Also use a firewall to reduce future chances of infection. I would try a mixture of Avast or AVG anti virus, Spybot Search and Destroy, AdAware Se personal, WindowsLiveOneCare 90 day free trial at http://www.microsoft.com a good free firewall is zonealrm firewall at the zonelabs website.

That infection is not a virus but a Homepage/Browser Hijacker. This site will remove this infection.
