A couple of things to check;

Run a rootkit scan,

Check your connection settings for a fixed DNS server address - it should be set to automatic,

Look in the windows 'hosts' file for a redirect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_(file) .

There may also be some BS Yahoo thing install itself into your IE add-ins.

You're looking for a 'redirect' problem, plenty of info out there.

Cheers
