Hi there Daniel, try hijack this from
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html it requires you to know a
little about the make-up of your machine, but will show everything you need
to know in respect to startup applications and homepage settings in IE.
Anything you are not sure about, remove with caution, make a restore point,
or a registry back up, and those that you know are out and out obvious
flaws, remove them.
