It seems to me that your browser has been hijacked. I suggest you'll
search Google Answers for "hijack this" to find instructions to get
out of this condition.

This sounds like the bogus IE add on called Keyword Update, you should
be able to remove it from Add/Remove programs in Control Panel.

If not there is a lot of helpful hints here which may help you remove
it - http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm
