Dazed and Confused!

At work we have one machine online. We used some spyware removal
software, and pop ups we previously suffered stopped.
Now whenever we type an address into the IE6 address bar on that
machine it displays "Yahoo.com", or "Flashlightsearch4u.com".
The hompage and search page are both set to google in Internet
Settings, but on looking in the registry there are loads of references
to pop up site addresses. I've replaced all of these with google, but
the problem still persists.

I have also downloaded and installed IE 6 again, but to no avail.

Why won't it display the site we type? And how do we fix this?
thanks for any help or ideas.
 
Flashlightsearch4u if new to me, check with the expert.

Go to http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads.php#det
Download "Hijack This!" [freeware] or download direct (below):
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/hijackthis.zip

If you get a 404 error or Access denied, try:
http://216.180.252.218/~spywareinfo.com/downloads/tools/hijackthis.zip

Unzip, double-click "HijackThis.exe" and Press "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log"
button.
Click: "Save Log" (generates "hijackthis.log")

Next, HijackThis | Config [button] | Misc Tools [button]
Click: Generate StartupList log [button] (generates "startuplist.txt")

Next, go to the below location:

Thank you so much for your help!

I already use Pop This! but I had no idea they also made Hijack this!

Thanks for spending the time to help me,
