First, scan the system for parasites and remove them. SpyBot S&D searches
your harddisk for Spyware and Adware
http://security.kolla.de/

&

Adaware (similar)
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
(Remember to perform a Webupdate to have the latest definitions installed)

This will remove malware from the PC. Now, reset the homepage setting.

Yeah, you've gotten into some spyware, adware, etc. Google the name of the
search engine, Xupiter for example, and follow the instructions for getting
rid of it.
