run a full spyware check with Spybot Search & Destroy & Adaware.

google "aboutbuster" , download it, run it and see what it finds.

also google "cwshredder", download it, run it and see what it finds.

You should also enable spybot teatimer to monitor your homepage, that way after any changes are made it will ask you if you want to allow them. And try spyware blaster to block spyware from comming in.
