1. IE Tools > Manage Add-ons: Disable all Add-ons and see if the problem
persists.
2. If you uninstall one or more updates [e.g., Security Update for Windows
XP (KB916281)], does the problem persist?
3. What you're seeing may be caused by "remainders" of hijackware that was
removed by Malicious Software Removal Tool. (The behavior you describe
points to this in most cases.) Run a thorough check for hijackware.

When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(
http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post

forums for expert analysis, not here.**
If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.
