I have an annoying web page that has been appearing ever
since my sister used my computer. Every few days my home
page is reset to this page. In addition, various websites
(ranging from porn to gambling) are added to my favorites
menu. Help!!

This is probably being caused by a third-party program
(adware, spyware,
parasite)

Download, install, *update* and run these two programs:
Ad-aware from http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/
Spybot from http://security.kolla.de/ (Remove items
listed in red.)
