Unwanted website

[Los]

I have my Internet Explorer browser open and pointing to
the www.msn.com website. The problem is everytime I try to
do a search from the msn.com website seach engine I am
always redirected to this unwanted serach engine website
called:

http://search.xrenoder.com

What is going on is my computer infected or do I need to
reinstall Internet Explorer.

A copy of a post I made above:

You might want to try running a program like "Ad-Aware", which you can find
here: http://www.lavasoft.de/

It sounds like you have a third-party program taking over your browser,
which is a common problem these days.
