That indicates that your browser has been hijacked. I recommend that you
download and use SpyBot Search and Destroy on your computer to scan for and
hopefully fix what parasites have done. It also has an advanced mode/tools
including "browser pages", but be careful making changes using it unless you
are sure of what you are doing. --- Steve

You have been hit with a bug that redirects your home page and also probably causes pop ups to appear. Download ad-aware 6.0 and run it on your computer. It will tell you which things hiding on your computer and in the registry are causing it. It will also delete them for you. For more info go to this page
