Evil Moniker

This happens a LOT on only one of my PCs...

I try to go to a big popular website such as yahoo.com or geocities.com, but it won't load it and instead shows some page from Moniker.com. (which says "This site is coming soon" or some bullshit like that)

My other computer loads the sites fine, and yahoo/geocities obviously aren't actually going down 7 times a day.

Anyone know anything about this or how to fix it?

If you insist on using IE, Hijack This is a must. Here's a link that's invaluable until you get a feel of how to use it... you can look up pretty much anything that could pop up on it, and determine whether or not it's safe.
