-How to run your pc into safe mode and to switch system restore off-
Its a browser hijack. You need to take certain steps to get rid of it, then install some software to block them in future.
Switch off System Restore as back up files may be hiding in there, and it will just restore itself. Go to Start - programs - accessories - system tools - system restore.
Run your anti virus and anti spyware in Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode repeatedly press the F8 key after the bios screen loads but before Windows loads. You'll know if you made it because the screen will be at 800 x 600 and your pc will be slow.

First get a good Anti-spyware program(s).
A very good one that I personally use:

Another one that is recommended my Download.com:

After that you should get a good secured browser. Sometimes using Internet Explorer is not good enough to stop some pop-ups. I recommend downloading Firefox, it's free and has great security:
