You certain it was your ISP that did this?

Sounds strangely symptomatic of a "browser hijacker."

Try running "Spybot Search and Destroy," and "Adaware" . . . both are free.

Browser hijackers can invade in a number of ways . . . including rogue (and 
very deceptive) ad banners . . . and some can be quite messy to clean out.
