Google Searches Hijacked

When ever I click links in google I end up at advertisement sites instead of the link I clicked. This only happen in IE, firefox works fine. I ran Hijack this and cleaned it up, I also have spybot teatime running with my browser locked down, so I have no idea how it happened, however I can't seem to fix it. I tried hijack this and it did not find anything out of norm. Any other tools that can be recommended?
