Download and install Spybot and AdAware. Then run Update in each to get the latest lists and do a full scan of your machine with them. That should get rid of this malware for you.

Then reset your homepage and use Spybot's Immunize feature to protect it from future changes. Then stop downloading stuff you don't know about or visiting iffy sites without high browser settings and a firewall.

If 'safeTsurfa's' advice doesn't work for you, go to this site:-

download a program called restoretaskbar and run it. It will set your browser back to original.
