Undesirable Favourites

Dear NetGuide,
I have three undesirable new items in my favorites that have suddenly turned up on my favorites list. How or why I do not know, but I want to be rid of them. I do delete them and empty my recycle bin, but they keep coming back. Is there any way in which I can permanently be rid of them? I also receive an entirely different home page, which has been replaced by what looks like a search page for businesses.
