I have seen your threads in the Virus area. But yet it still sounds as if your browser has been hijacked. Have you updated IE fully?

There's a chance that you have inadvertantly installed some AdWare that isn't showing up as a virus/malware. Check your add/remove programs for anything that looks like Advertising software.

Dr.Gootch go into the Control Panel. Select Add/Remove Programs. Make sure the box at the top is checked for show updates. Now scroll down and uninstall IE7. Reboot will be required.

After you reboot re-install IE7 and reboot again. Check it out. See if that fixed your problems.
