Before you start uninstalling IE try the following.
Download CWShredder from
http://209.133.47.200/~merijn/files/CWShredder.exe,
Spybot from http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?
lang=en&page=download and Stinger from
www.uant.net/antivirus/freestinger.html Run them while
offline and in SAFE boot mode. Delete the red entries that
Spybot displays. Reboot. Download SpywareBlaster from
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html,
install it to prevent further problems. Hope this helps.

Some porno site hides the malware file very well and only special tools can
find them.
I suggest your try this.

Go to http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/hijackthis.zip
Download "Hijack This!" [freeware] Latest version is 1.98.

Unzip the Download file in a NEW FOLDER that you can create before you start
the download.
DO NOT install in your Desktop folder.
DO NOT use any of the TEMP folders that are presently in your computer.
Double-click "HijackThis.exe" and Press "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log"
button.
Click: "Save Log" (generates "hijackthis.log")

Next, HijackThis | Config [button] | Misc Tools [button]
Click: Generate StartupList log [button] (generates "startuplist.txt")

Next, go to the below location:
