My homepage has become http://search.bearshare.com and I CANNOT change it with your 'Set your homepage' instructions? Why has this page taken over? How can I change it or block it from my computer?

I downloaded a program called BearShare from 'BearShare.com' to download music. It wasn't compatible with my iPhone, so I uninstalled it. It has taken over and my homepage is "http://search.bearshare.com/". I have followed your instructions over and over and over again, but it keeps coming back. WHY? I want to delete it and block it and NEVER see it again!!! HELP!!!
