It sounds like you have a Browse Hijacker that has infected IE and taken over your system. Most likely you now have a host of ADware, Spyware, Virus and Trojans on your machine also. It sounds like a verson of the CoolWebSearch browser hijacker.

Start by doing a manual scan of your Anti-Virus program if you can get it updated.

Read through Windows ME fixespage to get an idea of what you will have to do to get rid of most of the problems.
