And delete all cookies/offline files/ all that stuff and make sure you are clean.
I usually take heat for this anwser but this is what I recommend to my clients:
In my opinion, you should purchase Webroots Spysweeper Program. It is relatively inexpensive 10-30 dollars depending if its on sale.
Works just like most Anti Virus software on the market.
You should try before you buy, www.webroot.com It will search your computer, tell you the terrible condition of your computer and then let you purchase it.
Have installed this program on over 300 Computers, and never a complaint.

reset web settings in the control panel. This will set MSN as you "home page" , then you can change to the home page of your choosing.
