Check to see if you have browser helpers installed.. BHODemon is very useful..

Once you run BHODemon you can try disabling the ones that show up one by one and
see if IE starts then.. I fixed my Dads brothers computer this way, he had a
couple of those search bars too..

'course if that ain't it, I really recommend you get Opera browser or the
Mozilla one, Firebird I think it is called.. I only use Opera unless I have to
do an update, then I HAVE to use IE (thank you microsoft)...

Your computer is infested with malware. Do the following:

Scan in Safe Mode with a current antivirus program (meaning a version
not earlier than 2003 using updated virus definitions) show? Also,
remove spyware with Spybot Search & Destroy from
www.safer-networking.org and Ad-aware from www.lavasoftusa.com. Be sure
to update these programs before running them. These programs are free,
so run them both since they complement each other. It is best to run
antivirus and spyware removal tools in Safe Mode. You may also want to
run CWShredder and HijackThis from http://aumha.org/freeware.htm.
Although CWShredder is no longer being updated, it will still clean
older variants of the CoolWebSearch malware. A combination of
HijackThis and About:Buster (http://www.majorgeeks.com) works well in
removing homepage hijackers. Please read the instructions carefully.
Make sure you are able to see all hidden files and extensions (View tab
in Folder Options). Also, make sure you've visited Windows Update and
applied all security patches. Do not install driver updates from
Windows Update. Make sure you are running a firewall.
