Try these steps:
From Control Panel> Internet Options> Advanced> uncheck "Enable third party
browser extensions." That should allow IE to work. You should re-enable
browser extensions after you get things resolved.

Download and run ToolbarCop from http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/Toolkit.htm
Remove the extra tools items. Note: "Show Related Links" is legitimate, but
many people consider it to be spyware. See: http://www.imilly.com/alexa.htm

Then download, install, *update* and run both of these programs:
Ad-aware from http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/
Spybot from http://security.kolla.de/ (Remove items listed in red-others are
optional.)
Both programs should be updated after installation- before use.

If these programs don't remove the malware, HijackThis should be used to
post a log to the appropriate forum at one of these sites.
