Browser keeps opening unsolicited urls

[BH2]

Hi Guys,
Got a problem, had a look on the net but can't get an answer that works.
Ok, somehow I have contracted an annoying program that keeps opening up IE
to random web pages it is driving me nuts. I have scanned using NOD321,
spybot s and d, spyware blaster, but cannot get rid of the thing. The main
pages it opens up are:
Sprw.information.com
ayuz.com
searchportal.information.com
adserving.cpxinteractive.com
and a few more. How did I get infected with this nuisance, and how do I get
rid of it.
Your help and advice is appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Bob

How you got infected can be very hard to discern as we don't even know what you are infected
with.

Download and install superantispyware free edition, update it, and do a
complete computer scan with it. Superantispyware is very good at finding
problems.

And I also would take Wolf Kirchmeir's advice to dump IE and use Firefox.

Sometimes it's as simple as going into Tools --> Manage Add-ons and
getting rid of everything you aren't absolutely sure about.
