1.. Read the link below and then see the registry( be careful when editing
the Registry, you can render your system useless if you wrongly edited the
Registry, so back Up first):

For Malwares download both these software:

<you said you have Adaware, did you update its definitions?, uninstall and
reinstall the new release you may have older version>:
http://www.safer-networking.org ; for Spybot S&D
Open the Run Command and type in:
regedit.exe click [OK]
On the Registry Editor locate this Key:
[-]HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main =
Look in the Right Pane/Window for the search Bar and Search Page if it for
this tool bar delete it.
[-]HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Toolbar =
look for the extension of the toolbar in the Right Pane/Window.
[-] HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
Look in the Right Pane/Window for the search Bar and Search page if it for
this tool bar delete it
[-] HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Toolbar =
The same here.
2- Download the Hijackthis and send the report to one of many
forums for analysis and troubleshooting:
