Spam is changing my home page!

In the last 2 days, while downloading files from Kazaa, when I get the file, the next time I try to access the internet (www.msn.com is my home page), It keeps taking me to some site called passiton.com . I never read it, but I'm sure it's just junk mail. Whatever it is, I don't want it.
But after the first episode, I checked my settings in the control panel, and the home page had been changed! WTF is this BS? I put it back to msn.com .How to fix this and keep it from happening again? It's happened twice now.
I don't know why a telemarketer / spammer thinks anyone will actually read an ad forced on us like this, let alone buy anything from those bastards!

I highly suggest you download and run Spybot Search and Destroy v1.2 immediately.
Adaware - http://atomnet.co.uk/?p=programs&search=adaware

This isn't anything to do with Spam, Spam is junk e-mail. You went and downloaded, then ran a spyware installer (not the smartest move ever) which then `infested` your machine.

But you weren't running ZoneAlarm were you?
I'll run those other things through the system. Thanks.
