    Right click on the Internet Explorer icon on the desktop and select Delete Cookies, Delete Files (and when it asks tick the box), and Clear History for good measure.

    If this does not do it download CCleaner and run that and it will do the same thing but automatically.

    Run AVG (I'd also advise something like superantispyware) but boot into Safe Mode first (press F8 as you're booting up).
