Try this in IE:
Tools -> Internet Options -> General tab -> [browing history] Settings -> View Objects
and examine that list for anything that doesn't belong.
Also try the following:
(1) Download Autoruns from: http://www.microsoft.com/t
(2) Run the program. It lists a bunch of things that start when Windows starts.
(3) From the menu bar, select Options, and uncheck "Include Empty Locations" and "check" "Hide Microsoft Entries"
Important -> Then click the Refresh button in the toolbar.
(4) This will give you a shorter, more meaningful list.
(5) Examine that list and disable anything suspicious by un-checking it. Then reboot and see if it helped.
(6) If not, or if not sure, you can use the File -> Save as.. option in Autoruns to save the list to a text file and then cut and paste it here.

If you can manually change the registry or the networking properties and the stick after a re-boot, but then get changed after you launch IE, then I would say that you have a virus that is getting launched when you open IE.
