Sounds like you have a virus or some spyware loaded on your computer. Try running your antivirus software and also run Ad-aware or spy-bot. Then a good program to run is called hijackthis.

It seems to be a case of browser Hijacking. You need to delete the name of the website to which you are directed automatically, from the registry. Either manually or by using a registry claeaning software.
Normally the antivirus, and the antispyware programs installed on your computer should be able to detect it automatically

If they can't then use a program like RegScrubXP, or Hijackthis to look into the registry for the offending entry and to remove it.

This sounds ike you have got a Browser Hijacker, and need to get rid of it quick, you might try downloading Ad-Aware - SE Personal from http://www.lavasoft.com or http://www.lavasoft.de
the best free one there is, although there are other free ones out there, be VERY aware that over 85% of so called 'Spy-Ware' checkers are actually spyware.
