Spybot is the name of the program; not Skybot.

If I understand the question, when you start your browser (IE), instead of your normal home page, it goes somehwere else and you can not get it to go anywhere else. Right?
You are infected with what is called a "browser hi-jacker". Most can be cleaned by an anti-spyware program. Go to http://download.com and search for the free program Skybot Seek&Destroy. Download and run it, and it should clean up the hi-jacker. (If you can not get to the site from your PC, have a friend download it to a CD or memory stick, and run it from there).
If that does not clean it, please repost with the name of the site to which you are being redirected. Once we know the site, we will usually know the hi-jakcer, and can get specific cleaining instructions for that hi-jacker. (There are lots of them, all with different fixes).
