You have a browser hijack, probably a bunch of other
malware in there as well.
Stole the following block of html from Eric @
http://www.411mania.com.
<A title=http://security.kolla.de/
href="http://security.kolla.de/">Spybot</A> and <A
title=http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
href="http://www.lavasoftusa.com/">AdAware</A>. The
ONLY two spyware removal tools to trust. Do NOT buy
any spyware removal tools, because none of them work
better than these two, and all of them except these two
are suspect.<BR><BR><A
title=http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html
href="http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html"
>SpywareBlaster</A>. Will nuke twelve hundred
different potentially malicious ActiveX controls, and now
has the ability to prevent a number of non-ActiveX
methods of installing spyware for people who use
Mozilla/Firefox.<BR><BR><A
title=http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareguard.html
href="http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareguard.html">S
pywareGuard</A>. From Javacool, like
SpywareBlaster. It's a real-time scanner for
spyware. A decent first line of defense.<BR><BR><A
title=http://www.staff.uiuc.edu/~ehowes/resource.htm#IESPY
AD
href="http://www.staff.uiuc.edu/~ehowes/resource.htm#IESPY
AD">IE-SpyAd</A>. Throws numerous ad-related URLs
into IE's Restricted Zone, where they won't display or
affect your system. Bookmark this one, since it's
the only one that doesn't have an in-program
update.<BR><BR>Of course, only download them from the
links provided above.<BR><BR>With AdAware and Spybot,
check for updates using their internal update function at
least once a week. Run them at least once a week or
whenever you think you might have problems.
Remember, the new version of Spybot has browser
protection capabilities, so have that run at startup and
leave it running. Check for updates to
SpywareBlaster once a week. It only needs to be run
once initially in order to establish protection.
Then, after it downloads updates, just click on the line
that says "Enable Protection For All Unprotected Items"
(definitely run that one, since they just put in another
database update in the last couple days) and kill
it. It doesn't need to be active. For IE-
SpyAd, bookmark the site and check for updates twice a
week, since it has no kind of internal updater.
Since all it does is add Registry entries, it doesn't eat
up anything.<BR><BR>If you're having trouble with spyware
or a browser hijacker, or think that you do, head over to
the <A title=http://forums.spywareinfo.com/
href="http://forums.spywareinfo.com/">SpywareInfo Forums,
where the pros there can help you diagnose and get rid of
stuff. Currently, I'm in training over there as an
assistant, and they're good, knowledgeable people.
