...woah...deja vu...
here's what i posted in the windows section of the forum for this problem
try using microsoft's antispyware, housecall (from the frontpage of this website) or/and Avast! certain spywares only attack internet explorer, Avast! can do a boot scan and remove virus or intrusion threats before your pc starts up, microsoft's antispyware can also restore you internet explorer to it's original settings thus removing the remains of the spyware...

other good programs for browser hijackers are spybot search and destroy and hijack this, also ad aware is good for general spyware, if having an issue, run both in windows safe mode (f8 on dos boot screen) select safe mode and run the scans in there, then reboot in normal mode. before running IE, load internet options from the control panel and change the homepage to something else, or u will run IE and be taken auto to there page again and get reinfected.
