home page default

My home page defaults keeps on going to
http://nkvd.us/1527 which I don't want. I reset to
default msn and when I reboot it goes back to the nkvd.
Help!

You have likely been hi-jacked or you have a virus such as the QHost virus.

Install and update a spyware program like adaware (
