Browser Hijacking

About 2 days ago I noticed that my web browser was getting hijacked to a specific adult site no matter what URL I asked the browser to visit. The only way to get it to stop is to shutdown the browser and restart. But after a little browsing it gets hijacked again. I have tried using Mozilla and Opera and it happens to both of them. I am going to try Konqueor and Galeon to see if they are also getting hijacked. Any thoughts on what is going on and how to stop this?

I assume you cleared out all the cookies/tmp files? If so and still doing it just erase ~/.mozilla (backup your bookmarks) and should stop since that would be the only place where the site would be able to write to.
