Think I used Spyware Guard to get rid of a similar problem:

Once you've fixed it,
I'd suggest you http://www.getfirefox.com and use that instead of Internet Explorer.If you're feeling down, you must be holding a duck.0 -

Now get Spyware Blaster, also from Javacool. It blocks installation of many problems, though it is Spyware Guard that inhibits the browser hijacks.
There are also settings in Spybot S&D to prevent browser setting changes.0
