There will probably be some entries in the registry (placed there by the adware/spyware) that are to blame for this. There may also be a program loading from startup. The registry entries often are links to websites that activate whenever IE is started.
You could try running an updated version of adaware to solve the problem but theres no guarantee this will work. Be very wary about downloading or running any 'anti spyware' utilities other than the major ones such as adaware, spybot etc. A lot of them are malware themselves & will make the problem worse.
If you don't have any luck with that, then download 'hijack this', do a scan & save the log file but don't make any changes to your system. Then go to the Malware forum on this site & post your log in there. They are the best people to help you with this type of problem
