IE and Hotmail Problem

If I use Internet Explorer to log into Hotmail account when I sign in and get to inbox page after a few seconds I get redirected to some web hosting site, if I use Firefox the problem does not exist just in IE, there must be some malware but how can I get rid.
I am using Win XP sp2 with Avast Anti Virus but was only using Win Firewall have know updated to Zone Labs Pro.

Regards John

You need more than an antivirus. Do some scans with some antispyware apps.

SUPERAntiSpyware
Spybot Search & Destroy

Spyware is an ever changing enemy, using multiple programs are your best bet for catching the problem.

Ad-Aware is one of the reputable spyware scanners, along with the 2 I mentioned. Others are the one that's part of AVG 8.0 and Windows Defender.

It seems SUPER is doing the best job these days if you were to only pick one.
