Sounds like you have some virus/spyware/malware on your PC. Run any of your virus/spyware/malware programs and get rid of the infection. If that doesn't work, uninstall IE.

If you don't have any of these programs, try using Ad-Aware Free by Lavasoft if you need spyware/malware removal and AVG Free if you need antivirus.

Google shows absolutely no hits on those file names. It would seem safe to reason that you could simply navigate to that folder and manually delete the files.

I suggest going here http://www.tech-forums.net/pc/f70/

and posting a hijackthis log for analysis. You have a browser redirector on your pc. who knows what else it is doing as well. Best to have it looked at by professional techs on this board before it gets worse.

Also look to see what add-ons are being used/loaded in IE.
