Answer 1

i had a similar problem a few months ago. i acidentally installed a fake program that was probably a virus itself. i was able to uninstall it through add or remove programs, but since you cant go to control panel u cant do that. you will need to reinstall windows to fix this.  

the one i got was called virusheat, and it kept changing my homepage to their homepage. i had to go into internet explorer and had to disable this add on that kept making that my homepage.
