Take a gander at the Spyware Sticky. It should provide enough information on how to deal with your problem.

Either it piggybacked on some dodgy software you put onto your machine (installed Kazaa lately?), or it got on through a bug in Internet Explorer. The best thing that you can do to stop yourself being infected again is to switch to a more secure browser - personally I recommend Opera.

Scan for spyware with AdAware and SpybotS&D, that should delete almost all intruders on your system including this browser hijack. You can also check your IE settings and your registry for traces of that website name.
