It looks like you are now in the position of locking the door after the horse has bolted.
There is not a magic bullet that will solve this, and don't believe anyone that says there is. A good plan of action would be:-
Install Antivirus and run it.
Use any or all of the online virus tools, which might find something that your AV misses.
Install a number of spyware tools, eg Spybot, Adaware, M$.
Then deal with what sounds like a browser hijack. Type "hijack" into Google and you wil get links to toolbar removal tools.
Some other useful resources:-

for problems with IE, including hijacks.

for a good procedure to follow, once you've got it sorted.
Good luck!

A lesson learnt, no free ipods, no shooting monkeys,ducks or parrots, and definately no clicking on "your computer is running slowly - click here to fix it"
ANY virus is bad, if it takes only an hour to manually remove, then you've still lost an hours production, and if you anrt able to remove it yourself, you then need to pay someone to do it. Just because a system can send emails, doesnt mean its a healthy system.And surely if the friend's system is healthy enough to send emails, the virus itself can't be that bad
nono its its spam and i receive 100 over spam mail a day and its daily and i need something to filter it and canaca the web hosting company is not replying to my complainUrban Space said:Do you really need anti-virus for email? Only open emails from people you know and trust. Simple.
