Is this on a home computer or a work computer? If it is a work computer,
there may be a restrictive policy in place. In this case, speak to your
IT Dept. If this is a home computer and your homepage has been hijacked
to somewhere you don't want to go, then you have malware and can follow
these general removal steps:

If you need more help, please post back with details about your
computer, your Internet connection, the unwanted homepage, and what (if
anything) you've already done to troubleshoot. Please also include the
name and version of your antivirus and whether your subscription is
current.

Have you enabled the Immunize feature in SpyBot S & D?

Is that your broadband provider? Either way:

Run Ad-Aware SE, Spybot and HijackThis:

Note: Update the first two programs, once installed, before running.
