Download and run HijackThis (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html). 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, (http://forums.spywareinfo.com/index.php?showforum=18) They have experts in this stuff.

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

Ad-Aware (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/).
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.

Do you receive a pop up when you open IE?
