Help with IE 7 add-ons

I have an add-on (awtqq.dll) in IE7 that gives me annoying pop-ups for
DiskCleaner, WinAntiSypyware, and others. I disable it and after a restart of
IE it is right back. I disable it, close and open EI and it is not there
until the next time I open. I have read that someone said if you delete the
file it just comes back, which makes me believe that there is something
generating this .dll. When I try to download suggested software to rid this
file, it will shutdown IE. I am shocked Symantec or others, even Microsoft
don't have a fix for this. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware with
assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

http://forums.subratam.org/index.php?showforum=7,
http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30, or other appropriate forums for expert
analysis, 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.
