Run an updated virus scan.
Or Scan for Viruses online:

Run Disk Cleanup checking all boxes except "Compress old files"
Check this link:

Run Ad-Aware (free version) or Spybot to check for spyware:

Try going up to your tools menu on internet explorer then
click on internet options your first screen you should
see if it changed your start page to that annoying page.
You can change your home page from there.
Hope this helps!

you might be getting this window from 1 of 2 sources.
msn instant messanger, or windows messanger.
if you have msn messenger. open up msn messanger, click
on tools, then options, then privacy, then drag and drop
ALL OTHER USERS drom my allow list box to my block list.
this will prevent anyone thay you don't know sending you
IM with porn in it.
for windows messenger which is probably your problem.
goto CONROL PANEL (switch to classic view --on the left
side of the screen), then click on ADMINISTATIVE TOOLS.
then click on the SERVICES button. then scroll down to
MESSENGER. in the startup drop down box, choose
disable. (this is a security flaw in windows that
spammers have learned to take advantage of).afer that
reboot and you shouldn't be bothered again.

You really mite want to think about downloading a spyware
detector. Usually when it changes your home page it
probably put a file in your windows registry. A spyware
program will detect these and other cookie trackers.
Go to spybot and download the free version and I'll put
money on it that you are infected. Your computer will
also run better. Cookie trackers take up system resources
and they will slow your computer down.
