Try an anti virus program. Do a google search for Free-AVG. It's a good one to use and it's free. Basically, your start page has been Hijacked.

Don't forget to fold for team 32. See my sig or PM me if you wish.

Very good. I had another free one but I got infected anyway. Then I found this one. Keep it up to date AT LEAST once a week and it should help keep you clean.

Fold on. Build, Borg, Recruite.

AVG is a very good Antivirus. Just so you know you can get rid of the little sig it puts on your incoming and outgoing mail.
