The advice about spybot s&d and ad-aware are both good.Have you tried the simple? Going to Tools/Internet Options and changing the homepage?
You may need to restart the computer in safe mode, as something is still resident in memory and therefore all your spyware isnt being removed.
Theres some good reading here http://www.spywareinfo.com/
