Cant delete Porn links in Favorites IE6

[Donal]

On my pc I have several porn links which wont
go away!
Windows 2000, SP4, IE6.

I Deleted temp Internet files, cleared history, cookies etc.
I deleted the favorites manually.
Whenever I reboot the porn links reappear.
I have removed all refs to IE6 in the registry.
Then reinstalled IE6
I have tried Regclean.
My anti-virus is up to date. Done full scans.
I reinstalled Windows 2000 & SP4. No joy.
I installed Ad-Aware & ran it. No joy
It claims to remove
"Datamining, aggressive advertising, Parasites, Scumware,

Keyloggers, selected traditional Trojans, Dialers, Malware,

Browser hijackers, and tracking components."

Any ideas?
I've very little hair left!!
