Sounds like you might could have been hit by a browser hijacker. There's info on what they are and how to get rid of them on spywareinfo.com.

This week I've had trouble with some random website taking over my web browser.  I'll visit a random site and when I go back to it, whether a couple days or just hours, it will come up as not found and have an ad for Domainmonger.  I know the sites are there because I have friends check them at the same time, but on both machines in my office, I'm getting the bogus site.  I've emptied my cached files and cookies and I get the same results on IE 6.0, Netscape 6.2, Netscape 4.7, and Phoenix 0.5.  Right now it's happening when I go to www.rinksmart.com, yesterday it happened to www.ticketmaster.com.  A little while later, it went back to normal and now ticketmaster is fine.  Anyone have any suggestions as to what has taken over my computer?
