You've been hijacked. For more details of this specific hijack
(Adware.StartPage) see
http://sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/a...startpage.html.

You could prevent such hijacks by having an antivirus application installed
and updating its reference signatures on a regular basis (daily?) and also
downloading yourself a copy of the free Ad-Aware 6.0 from Lavasoft
(http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and also SpyBot
(http://www.safer-networking.org/) and use them to check your system for other
commercial parasites remembering that they are only as good as when you last
updated their reference files. I also use a program called BHODemon
(http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm that checks for unwanted
Browser Help Objects and SpywareBlaster
(http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareblaster.html) which can help prevent
some parasites getting a grip on your PC.

I would also recommend you download and run CWShredder which targets the
CoolWebSearch parasite. Unfortunately neither AdAware or SpyBot seem to be
able as yet to fully detect all the various versions of the CoolWebSearch
parasite as it keeps changing. For more details of the CoolWebSearch parasite
see http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html.

CWShredder, merijn's removal tool, can be downloaded from either:
http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip
or
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip
