Try downloading Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
(http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php). Grab the free trial (the free
version is a "run it when you need it" app, whereas the paid version is
something that can monitor your PC at all times). Install that and run the
Quick Scan and remove what it finds.

1. See if you can download/run the MSRT manually:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx
NB: Run the FULL scan, not the QUICK scan!
2. WinXP ONLY!! => Run the Windows Live Safety Center's 'Protection' scan
(only!) in Safe Mode with Networking, if need be:

3. Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting the requested
logs in an appropriate forum, not here.

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.
