Does it always change it back to a web page you do not want ?

If so you may have a virus on your machine.

Someone may have updated your "hosts" file and you need to reset back the way it ways.

Someone had a similar problem with hosts a few weeks ago, search for that.

This could also be caused by an anti-spyware application which inhibits "rogue elements" from changing your homepage. Unfortunately it may also class you as a rogue element.
