Explorer Question
 
Each time I open IE,it automatically goes to:
http://globe-finder.cc/ydtfs/

Plus,under Tools > Internet Options > Accessibility,
it keeps checking the 'Format Documents Using My
Stylesheet' box,and no matter how many times I
un-check it,itgoes right back to being checked... :(

Any help on how to fix this sh** would be appreciated alot.

When you go to your internet options and set your homepage to whatever you normally have it set to, does it automatically change it back to that globe-finder one?

Yeah :(

It's spyware. Just download ad-aware or spybot and it should get fixed.

Yeah I had a problem like that a while ago.

It's spyware, so use whatever program you use (ad-aware, spybot, etc), and hopefully it'll detect it. I went into my registry and eliminated everything related to the spyware out too, but I don't know how comfortable you are messing with the registry so I wouldn't recommend that :o

Is this what I should download?

I use both Ad-aware and Spybot together, they both seem to pick up things that the other one doesnt, please make sure you have the latest version of ad-aware as the older builds are not being supported with updates anymore.
then check out Microsoft Baseline security Analyzer, do a google on that and find it. It checks for all missing updates and patches. its a handy little tool.

It could be a virus I suppose. Did you run a check for those?
