Give this a shot, seems to be the fix for this pest

Click Start, Click Run, Type RegEdit in the box, Navigate to the following keys, Check them twice to be sure you have the right one, Then right Click and Delete
Using RegEdit, carefully remove the following registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{869EE607-5376-486d-8DAC-EDC8E239AD5F}
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{9DBB80E2-B681-4765-8A5F-AD3994C9B4F3}
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions\{869EE607-5376-486d-8DAC-EDC8E239AD5F}
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions\{9DBB80E2-B681-4765-8A5F-AD3994C9B4F3}
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\{9DBB80E2-B681-4765-8A5F-AD3994C9B4F3}
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions\{869EE607-5376-486d-8DAC-EDC8E239AD5F}
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions\{9DBB80E2-B681-4765-8A5F-AD3994C9B4F3}

Restart your computer, and then remove the following files:
c:\windows\start.chm
c:\windows\system32\c_10230.dll

Next
Using the Internet Properties dialog box, delete your cookies and empty your Temporary Internet Files (check off "Delete all offline content"). Reset the home page to your desired home page.

Rescan with Ad-aware

Please go Here and unzip the newest version of HJT into a new dedicated folder,
Create a folder on the C: drive called C:\HJT.
You can do this by going to My Computer (Windows key+e) then double click on C: then right click and select New then Folder and name it hjt.
Unzip HijackThis into this folder. Launch Hijack This, then press Scan, and press Save Log

This will generate a text file that will list all running processes, all applications that are loaded automatically when you start Windows, and more.
Most things are harmless and needed so don't make any changes.
post a log here please.
