Kelly, that's the symptoms of a browser hijacker. There's a lot of that going on
these days. First, run Spybot S&D to clean out as much spyware junk as possible.
Download Spybot S&D
After installing it, restart your computer. Then load it and go online and download
"all" updates that aren't optional. Close all browser windows, then start it in Easy
mode and run the scan. Then click 'Check All', and fix everything SpybotSD labels
in red. Restart your computer.
Then download this small application, "Hijack This" and follow instructions and post
the logfile.
'Hijack This'
Unzip 'HT' into a new folder. Then double click the .Exe file to run it. Choose Scan.
It will display a list. Most of the things you see listed are necessary or required
entries, so don't fix anything yet. The Scan button will turn into Save Log.Choose
Save log, then click Edit - Select all and copy/paste the contents of the log file
in a post, either here, on the Spywareinfo forums or on Spybot's support forums (last
link).

So how did I get infected in the first place?
