Sounds like you've been hijacked.
Go to The Major Geeks and download/install the needed tools to regain
control of your computer.

Andrew,

Try this registry patch:

http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/UnlockHomePage.reg

Download, right-click and select merge.

Reboot and test.

After that read this:

Prevent your "HomePage" setting from being Hijacked

Good luck,

Zee
