Hijacked Browser & Bad Content Advisor Password

[Todd]

My browser has been hijacked. It continually sets my
homepage to allaboutsearching.com and sends me popups
trying to get me to buy a spyware product(ironic?).

In response I tried to use the Content Advisor to block
the website. However, that only succeeded in blocking
myself: the password I put in twice does not work.

What should I do?
