Stuck with mysearchnow.com as default homepage

[Jackie B.]

I was given the option to update MSN (messenger I
thought) which I then did. Since then my homepage has
been stuck on www.mysearchnow.com and there has been an
extra toolbar with shopping, etc on it which disappears
if I right click on it and choose the
option "tbrchwavtea" - whatever that is. Whenever I go
to change my homepage back to ntlworld.com and apply it
still reverts back to www.mysearchnow.com !!! We are also
geting a lot of popups for poker, etc!!! Can anyone
help??
