Your browser has been hijacked. Do a Google search for "browser hijacker"
and you should have some options for fixing this problem. A good tool is

Hi,
Work through the solutions (CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot) at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Run CWShredder first.
Also note the security tips on that page.

A firewall will not prevent a hijacker that comes along with something you
download on purpose.
