    Sounds like some sort of virus to me.
    Need to stay away from the porn sites man! :)

    Depending upon your operating system there should be a file called "host" or "hosts". I can't quite recall. Do a search for it on your computer and open it with notepad. See if there is anything about that site in there.
    If there is remove it and save.

    You can always try and uninstall your toolbar and reinstall.

    I recommend not using any of toolbars because they gutter your personal information and send them to Google, Yahoo, or etc. especially when your toolbar is hijacked then they can get your information as well.
