You may want to try the IE fix tool below.

Internet Explorer Fix - General purpose fix for Internet Explorer
[Win98/ME/2000/XP]
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/IEFIX.htm

First:
I suggest you download a little program called Hijackthis. Go to this page
http://tomcoyote.com/hjt/#Top for instructions on its use and to download.
This will scan your computer and generate a log of everything that is
running.

Next:
Set up an account at Spywareinfo
http://forums.spywareinfo.com/index.php?act=idx
and post your LOG there, not here. There are many experts on that forum and
someone will analyze it and
let you know if anything is amuck and what you can do to fix it.

You always want to keep your virus definitions up-to-date as well as use
tools like Spybot and Ad-Aware which also must be kept up-to-date every time
*before* you use them to scan your machine.

Spybot http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html

Ad-Aware http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/

If you need a good FREE antivirus try AVG at http://www.grisoft.com/

If it ain't broke - tweak it!
