Problem with internet explorer

Hi yall, I can´t solve a problem on my PC, some days ago Internet explorer started to redirect me when I try to access some pages like yahoo or google or when I try to use my yahoo navigation bar. The web addres I have been redirected is http://help.internet-optimizer.com/?js=1&e=ERRDNS&u=http%3A//www.ya&cls=v1&rid=r01 this page is like a web search page but in the right corners displays the following error. HELP/NAVIGATION ERROR - DNS Error
Internet Explorer cannot find www.ya.

I used PC.cillin and an antivirus called eAnthology Software Station and they found the following trojans:

Trojan Dyfuca
Trojan Winshow

But they were unable to do something agains those programs.

Also encountered a huge qunatity of spusoftware like a HuntBar or a HijackerWeb Browser.

The files that antivurses said were infected are msnh.dll, nem14.dll and msxmidi.exe.

I don´t which other information you could need, but I want to fix the problem without thinking in the possibility of a full format and reinstalling.

Thanks in Advance.

Spybot (linked above) is the best Spyware tool (IMHO) and will take care of this problem for you (you will have to change your homepage back).

I would guess this may have been installed via a pop-up when surfing the web (possibly inadvertanly).
Cleaning your computer  - and protecting it in the future -  can't be answered with one issue.

As you can see in my url below there are at least 7 different issues, where you should decide 1 of each, or else you does'nt protect your computer at all.

The reason is, that the many different programs not always protects against each other, and each of them does'nt protect equally.

It's very important, that you study all of these issues in my knowledgebase (some of them are freeware):

BTW: I'm using the Trend Micro virus-suite, and SoftScan , and haven't got any of my servers or computers infected since 1999.
