That means a malware or something changed it from what it was before and for that to happen is one malware infection or a software you installed changed the homepage from your default. You can change it in your options settings but if that doesn't work it means that was installed by a software and any attempts to change won't work unless you find the offending program and uninstall it so it defaults back to your default homepage.
