My advice, use Mozilla Firefox. It doesn't have the bugs that Internet Explorer has. Once you use it I promise you'll never use IE again.
It seems that you have got a browser hijacker. Use Spybot s&d and/or superantispyware to detect and remove it

It sounds to me like you may have some serious spyware on your PC and even maybe a virus. I would download the following antispyware, antivirus and firewall which are all available for download for free!:
1. Anti-vrius: Avast is an excellent free anti-virus. Download it from: http://www.download.com/avast-home-editi...
Other free anti-virus options: AVG.
2. Anti-spyware: Spybot search and destroy is the best. And its free. Get it from here;

3. Ad-ware scanner: Ad Aware SE Personal is the best.

4. Free firewall: Comodo is simply the best

After dowloading them, run FULL SYSTEM scans and it should take care of your problem.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
If you do not have firefox get it now and use it instead of internet explorer so you dont get any more spyware http://securitynewsfromthenet.blogspot.c...
1) If you have not already scanned your comp with spybot http://securitynewsfromthenet.blogspot.c... do that now .Update it and then run it so it gets rid of all the spyware and trojans in safe mode .Then use the immunize feature to block bad sites from secretely installing any more trojan downloaders.
Your internet explorer has been hijacked. That is why you were redirected to another website everytime you open you IE.
Since your IE is infected, use your my computer to browse the internet temporarily. Can you go to http://housecall.trendmicro.com?... (using your mycomputer?) Click on Scan now. Its free!
Also use spybot search and destroy - update it then scan your computer. This will scan your system and system registry. Update your anti-virus software also, then restart your computer and boot into safe mode and then scan your computer again.
Safe mode:
click on start,
select run,
type msconfig,
go to boot.ini tab,
select safemode,
click on apply and ok.
Once in safemode, scan your computer again using your spybot and your anti-virus software. Delete everything it will find. Also before going to safemode, go to control panel first and click on system icon. In system properties, select the system restore tab and turn off the system restore on all drives. This way, the image of the trojan will be remove from your system.
After scanning your computer in safemode, select run again then msconfig, in the general tab, select normal mode. then apply and ok.
Hope this fix the problem? Have a nice day.
After appyling the cleanup tips above, consider switching to Opera 9.20, which has a better security track record than any other browser.
if you have McAfee or Norton run it Now becouse you just my have a virus after that run Disk Cleanup it will take time but
i's worth it!.
