Download and run HijackThis. Click "scan" and then" make log". Paste the contents of the log file here.
It might be better to post your log at Spyware Info forums, They have experts in this stuff.

Run an updated spybot and adaware before making and posting a hijackthis log.

Ad-Aware.
Before you run it, check for updates.Click the gear at the top and change these settings:
general> activate:automatically save log file,automatically quarantine objects prior to removal
scanning> activate:scan within archives, scan active processes, scan registry, deep scan registry,
scan my IE Favorites for banned sites and scan my hosts file
tweaks>scanning engine>activate:unload recognized processes during scanning.
tweaks>cleaning engine>activate:automatically try to unregister objects prior to deletion and let windows remove
files in use after reboot

click proceed to save your settings.

Now run it, make sure "activate in-depth scan " is checked. Fix anything it finds.

What happens ? No picture, so explain instead please.

Do you receive a pop up when you open IE?
