Computer Help

Hey guys any help would be appreciated. A few days ago I must have hit something on my Internet Explorer browser as all of a sudden the whole top portion was changed making it almost impossible to use and my home page was suddenly set to a porn site index page. I ran a virus scan and found nothing, then I reset my home page and it worked ok though I was still not able to restore the top of the browser to the way it was. Anyway, the problem I am having now is when I am surfing, about every 30 clicks or so, this porn site index page just comes up again. What can I do to get rid of this as it really baffles me. I have never visited this site in the past and it really is a pain in the ass now to have it keep coming up randomly like this. Also I tried hitting "reset web settings" under tools but when I did that the porn site was back as my homepage! What could be the problem here?

Get and run Spybot, do the same with Adaware (can be found at download.com).

Also go to trend.com & download and run "sysclean" (you'll also have to download the latest virus pattern file).

Too many porn sites scooter....
