That means a malware or something changed it from what it was before and for that to happen is one malware infection or a software you installed changed the homepage from your default. You can change it in your options settings but if that doesn't work it means that was installed by a software and any attempts to change won't work unless you find the offending program and uninstall it so it defaults back to your default homepage.

This should help you get rid of the nuisance .....
