1. Are you sure that Norton Firewall is not blocking IE? Check the admin
settings, maybe delete IE from the list and get the popup again asking for
permission.

2. Are you sure the XP SP2 firewall is not blocking IE? Open it up (i'm not
sure how) and check.

3. Sysinternals has a very nice program to show you what gets loaded on your
machine at startup. Is there anything weird in there?

4. Try a few other Trojan finders, I like Spybot S&D and also Lavasoft
Adaware. Run them both and see what they find.

What exactly happens when you launch IE? Does it give some message?
If you can run Firefox, you should be able to access Microsoft Windows
Update and read what they have to say.
