See Sandi Hardmeir's
http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/Darnit.htm for a list of
quite a number of other similarly badly behaved sites and
practices. Lop is
mentioned at
http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/Darnit.htm#lop together
with a
link to their page which explains how to remove
such "customisation" and
homepage hijacking. :-)

See also Adware and spybot...
