go to download.com and search for spybot...d/l that and run it - also reset your homepage in control panel -> internet properties back to what you had before - and you should be all squared away.

SPYBOT Search & Destroy from TUCOWS (http://www.tucows.com/preview/310138.html)

Great for getting rid of what ails you AND prevents stuff from getting back on your system.

If you are on XP or 2K, go to your %windir%\system32\drivers\etc folder and open your "hosts" file with notepad. It looks like there is a bunch of crap in there. Try deleting everything under the line that reads:

"127.0.0.1 localhost"

Also, click Start -> Run and type "cmd" w/o the quotes.
Then type at the C:>ipconfig /flushdns

That may help as well.
