open internet explorer click tools and internet options and in the white box remove what ever they put in.

Is this in internet explorer? There's a registry setting to change that (don't remember it off-hand, check google). If it's another browser, there may be a config setting within the browser to remove it.

I don't get what you mean, did they change your homepage?
Sounds pretty crazy whatever they did!

That can be changed by editing the registry. I don't know the particular key to edit offhand but I can tell you that Spybot Search and Destroy (in advanced mode) will let you edit this using a graphical interface.

IF you're using XP and Internet Explorer:
Start > Run
Type regedit
Browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

Find the value called "Window Title" and change it to whatever or delete it.

*edit* yeah and that's pretty lame what they did.
