Disable email scanning in your antivirus product, then test and see if it's
fixed.
If not, there has been a problem with web surfers visiting
www.webforhumans.com and not having a popup blocker installed or clicking on
various links at that page which changes their home page in Internet
Explorer to www.about-blank.biz and to remove the bugs it installs requires
the use of HijackThis which can be found at:
http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads/tools/HijackThis.exe

>From Robert Aldwinckle:
[Type these commands, one at a time, in the IE Address Bar]
javascript:navigator.browserLanguage
javascript:navigator.systemLanguage
javascript:navigator.userLanguage
[and report the results back here.]
Here is a related discussion where the user was prepared to experiment
along that tack:
That particular case was perhaps unusual because browserLanguage
turned out to be EN-US, implying that the platform was a US version
of Windows!
Previously I had done a similar attempt at diagnosis/repair with a Dutch
(NL) user. That one somehow didn't turn out so benignly. I tried to
simulate the analogous changes e.g. from EN-US to NL and back on
my test partition though with no such ill effect; so suspect the fresh
symptoms that user had may have been (hopefully <g>) caused
by something else.
