If someone has been into Tools/Internet Options/Content and enabled the Content Advisor the only way to disable it would be to have admin status and probably the password that was set when it was enabled unfortunately  :(
You may be able to uninstall IE and reinstall it  ???

It may also be a case of browser hijacking.  Suggest you run Ad Aware, Spybot, and then Hijack This, to see if there's anything which obviously shouldn't be there.  If you haven't a clue what the HJT list means, save the log and post it on here, then someone  (Dack)  ;D  will look at it for you.

Spybot S&D
Spyware Blaster
