It sounds like a browser hijack. Do you have any antivirus or antispyware software installed, and if so, is it upto date?

Try lavasoft.com for a free remover (Adaware). Also, Firefox2.com (also free!) for an Internet browser less susceptible to the kind of problem that you're having.

Run through posts 1 to 4 in the malware/spyware removal thread in the link albertross posted. If that doesnt work post a HiJack This log on this thread and someone here will look at it.

F-Secure is the best anti virus/firewall program I've used in 10 years or so. My PC had a nasty virus about 15 months ago, nothing would remove it, I tried Nortons (which is what I had installed at the time, crap), AVG, NOD32, Kaspersky and about half a dozen others that I can't remember, nothing worked, then I tried F-Secure and walla it was gone! No problems at all since I've used it. I've got the CLient Security 2007 version at the moment, try it, it's great, it uses very few resources too.
