Home page

When I opened IE this morning, my homepage had been changed (no one but me uses my computer) to http:\\thecoolpics.net. It is nothing I would go to. So I went to Internet Options so I could change it back, and it had the new web address there and it was grayed out. I could not change it. I ran virus scan, I also reset the Internet options to the "default" settings, no avail. I have MSN Messenger and Yahoo Messenger running and that website address appeared in my email address line on MSN and as an instant message text on Yahoo. How do I get rid of this?
Thank you for your time...
