Is the address just showing up in the drop-down list of the address bar? Or is it actually on the title bar of Internet Explorer?
For example, in the second case this window would have the following title, or something like it:
Advicenators: Questions You've Asked - [Porn Site URL]
If it's just an entry in your history, no problem - just follow the other advice you've received here. But if the porn URL is on your TITLE bar...then I'm afraid that all of the advice that you've gotten so far is wrong. I've been through this, and I know.
So if it's on the title bar, the site you viewed used an IE exploit to hijack your registry. Your system is seriously compromised.
Here's the story of when this happened to me, and how I dealt with it: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Scroll down that page a little to read "A Shock To The System".
To sum it up, the situation is dangerous. You can try to install a series of security programs, but there's no way of knowing if they will work. I'll give you a list of programs and instructions below.
HOWEVER: if they don't work, you're in real trouble. You'll need to have the system professionally cleaned, or else get a really competent friend who KNOWS what they're doing to clean out your registry.
Just to be really clear:
Messing with the registry without knowing what you're doing is like doing brain surgery on your Windows installation, blindfolded. YOU COULD EASILY LOSE EVERYTHING - all files, all data, everything. Gone.
I just looked up a freeware registry cleaner. I don't know if it's any good, or if it will work on this problem, but if you get desperate, well, it might be better than going in and messing with the registry yourself.

That said, here are some security programs that you should use. They may or may not help, but they're worth trying. And they would probably have stopped this from happening in the first place, if they'd been installed and updated before you went on that site.
Download and install these programs (they're all free).
The latest version of Ad-aware from Lavasoft - [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Spybot-Search & Destroy - [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
SpywareBlaster - [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
And if you don't have an antivirus program that is being updated DAILY, you might want to uninstall your old antivirus program (assuming you have one) and install AntiVir - [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Once you've installed those programs, update each one of them immediately - they make it pretty easy and obvious. You need to get them *fully* up to date. Then run a full system scan with each program, starting with your antivirus (or AntiVir). Oh, you won't be able to scan with SpywareBlaster; it doesn't have a scan option, it just blocks spyware.
Additional steps: you need to update Windows. This whole problem probably happened because you're using an out-of-date version. So update it like this:
1. You must be connected to the internet.
2. Click on "Start".
3. Assuming that you have Windows XP, click on "Help and Support".
4. Under "Pick A Task", click on "Windows Update".
If you don't have XP, try Start > Help and search for "Windows Update".
Once you've done all of this stuff, go into Internet Explorer and under Internet Tools clear out your history. Go to your Start button and make sure that you've cleaned the porn URLS from the Startup menu. Then close your system down, wait a minute, and re-start it.
It might work, it might not.
You can protect yourself in the future by being extra careful when you're online. NEVER open an email attachment unless you not only know who it's from, but are EXPECTING it. Be very careful when visiting lyric or porn sites - those are the most likely to infect your system.
Make sure to keep all of your protective software updated at *least* weekly, if not twice a week. And scan every time you update, and after every download.
Good luck!

do what imperialistic said. But to avoid this problem later, go to www.getfirefox.com and download mozilla firefox. It's faster than internet explorer, better, and all you have to do to clear the info from EVERYTHING even like google and stuff, you just click tools>clear private data in firefox.

Next time you do something like this, do it on firefox, its easier to fix

There are a few things you should do to insure no one would know.
On your menu bar...
Tools > Internet Options > General > History > Clear History
Tools > Internet Options > General > Temporary Internet Files > Delete Cookies
Tools > Internet Options > General > Temporary Internet Files > Delete Files
Tools > Internet Options > Contend > Personal Information > Autocomplete > Clear Forms
The downside to this is that you'll delete your saved history setting for websites such as advicenators if you've chosen to stay logged in all the time but that's easy to fix. On the upside, your computer will be faster and there won't be ANY trace at all of you looking at porn.
