Hi.
I was wondering why my homepage disappeared all of sudden? Now it’s some Russian website called Qip.ru is sitting in its place. I do not speak Russian; I wanted to set another website as my homepage, but just couldn’t do that. Qip.ru keeps coming back; each time I restart my computer. Need a fix. Can u help me out?

If your homepage was replaced without your knowledge, it indicates that there is a browser hijacker type software running its processes on your system. In your case, it is Qip.ru browser hijacker. This bogus app is described as a potentially unwanted program (PUP), which tends to infiltrate victim's computers in creative, but, unfortunately, deceptive ways.
The reason you cannot replace your homepage is that Qip.ru PUP is still installed on your system. It is programmed to run its processes on the computer startup and make sure that it is set as victim's homepage. To entirely get rid of this page and to set another web page as default, you have to remove Qip.ru virus from your system. Read this article to find out how to eliminate this PC parasite manually - How to deal with Qip.ru? (Manual Qip.ru removal guide)

You can also solve this issue automatically. For that, you need to install an anti-spyware program, for example, FortectIntego. Then, run a system scan and eliminate all spyware and malware from your system.

Good luck!
