This has been a FAQ on this newsgroup. See this site for possible help and
more information:

This is caused by a parasite/spyware/malware on your system:

Use Ad-Aware and/or Spybot Search & Destroy to remove it.

Ad-Aware: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
Spybot: http://security.kolla.de/
Good site on how to install and use Spybot -

check for common parasites

You may also want to check out StartPage Guard -

StartPage Guard protects your PC from cyberscam, by monitoring status of
your internet browser StartPage and preventing it from any unauthorized
changes.

And to keep from having to manually edit the registry to unlock your
homepage settings, try this little script by Doug Knox, MS MVP:
