What IS "Yahoo.cm" and why does it appear at will?

Instead of my (Firefox) homepage, this keeps appearing, and gets a huge warning from WOT. I went to another site that says it's related to porn. WTH???! Searches and "WhoIs" produced nothing.

Update:

I just did a scan with Malwarebytes (a quick one) and nothing showed up. I saw Yahoo.cm on some page listed as a porn site that installs a virus. If that's it, it wasn't ME.

Update 2:

Highjacked? NOOOOO! Dammit.

    Sounds like your homepage got hijacked.

    Install and run 'Malwarebytes' or 'Spybot Search & Destroy'.

    They can get rid of crap like that.

    Sounds like a virus.
