    Perhaps you can try FireFox and see if you still have the same problem. Note that GoogleToolBar is also available for Firefox.

    You might try loading "Internet Explorer (without add-ons) located in system tools to see if the problem is IE or an add-on.

    You are most likely infected, and your hosts file is also probably hacked up but good. Do a complete virus/adware/spyware scan.
