Default blocking web sites

Have problem with this web site(http://cool-homepage.com/)
I have never visited this site yet it seems to keep
changing my home webpage to it.
Is there a way to block it from doing this.
Thanks

You're probably infected with some kind of spyware. Look at downloading &
installing adaware or spybot.

Jared,

You have a browser hijack on your computer. SWI Forums will help you
with this. You will need Spybot S&D and HijackThis (both free).
Start with this article:

Also, you should harden your browser. Run these browser security
checks, which will give you lots to think about.
