Sounds like your browser got hijacked. Run some anti-mal/spywaresoftware (I'd recommend Spybot S&D or AdaWare, or both, they're free)
Wouldn't hurt to run a virusscan either, as it's not unlikely you got multiple infections.

Fair chance that'll fix it, after which you'd be able to set your own homepage again. If not, let us know. (Let us know if it worked too though :P)
