Boot into Safe Mode with networking. At your machines start up keep hitting F8 until you get a menu to choose that option

Install Spybot Search and destroy. Download updates and have it inoculate your system. This will prevent redirection to a lot of malware sites. Set the program to advance mode from the tool bar. Then go to Tools -> System Start up and look at all the programs that run at start up. Uncheck things you don't need. Do a Google search if you are not sure what something is.

Also go here http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix
and follow the instructions for using Combofix. It't a great tool and will find things that Norton/Symantec and Macafee will miss.

Do a scan with Kaspersy's online tool http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner

Good luck

Edit: It sounds like you still have something on your machine that shouldn't be there. I would at minimum run the Combofix. I've had several machines at work get infected and that was the most affective tool.
