nope its about:blank its the simplest search engine ive ever seen 2 its like when you get a 404 error and it redirects you to a link page with a search box at the top.

Hmm, in your favorites is there a bunch of porno sites that keep comming up? Even if you delete em? You probubly have a stupid adware threat, about 8 of my friends have it and don't know how to get rid of it, such a pain in the *** though... also if you try to type in a webpage do you have to type http://www. before the site or search apge or somthin comes up?

You have the Trojan.Startpage virus, a friend of mine had it a few weeks ago. Quit going to donkeyspank.com or whtever you're doing. go to housecall.trendmicro.com or if you have mcafee or norton, reboot in safe mode and do a full system scan, also, follow the instructions here http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avc...structions
to remove it from your registry.
