Default Internet Explorer problem

I've got a bad computer problem I haven't been able to fix. Here's the deal.
When I type in a URL up on the address line, no matter what I put in, a **** site comes up. (No, I haven't been surfing **** .) I've checked and deleted all temp internet files and cookies, and can't figure it out. Have had to ban my 10 year old from the computer until I fix it. Can't guess how this happend but anyone know how to fix it? It seems like it takes the URL, puts an = sign after it, and then tags on the **** URL.
Thanks!!!!

Download a program called "Spybot" and run it you may have some kind of spyware running that this should get rid off. Just do a search for "spybot" on Yahoo.com and follow the link!

Open your browser.

Click TOOLS, then INTERNET OPTIONS.

Click DELETE COOKIES. OK.

Click DELETE ALL FILES. (Check Delete all offline content). OK.

Click CLEAR HISTORY. OK.

Click ADVANCED TAB.

Scroll down and UNCHECK the Use inline autocomplete box.

Close your browser.

Restart your browser and it and see if it's still there.

Try this before you do anything drastic.
