Try a program called hijack this. It sounds like there is a bug telling your pages to do this so i would run that with a trojan scan and the regular virus scan. Let us know alittle more as you find out.

Have you updated your Ad-Aware and ran it and deleted all the objects it found? If you 've done that and the problem is still there, then here is a suggestion:
run the online pest scan from here:
http://pestpatrol.com/Downloads/Eval/DownloadHomeEvalNew.asp
go to your registry and BACK IT UP FIRST (in case you need to go back) and then manually delete all the registry keys and files that the online pest scan finds. If you've never edited the registry before then I would suggest you read the Microsoft website on how to edit your registry and what you should be carefull about.
This should take care of the problem

This sig is a virus, since I am not so technically advanced, it's a manual virus. If you can see this message that means you've got the virus, so please delete all the files on your hard drive yourself and forward this message to everyone you know! :)

Sounds like your browser is not now uunder your full control! Install or update AdAware 6 and SpyWare Blaster. Also make sure your virus scanner and firewall definitiions are up to date.

Good luck.

Try "manually" deleting everything in your temporary internet files folder & your temp files folder. I say to do this manually because there are no methods that delete everything within these folders other than by doing so manually, unless you've got a program such as Evidence Eliminator & there might be one or two others.

Both will be located here C:\Documents and Settings\your user name\Local Settings

If you can't see the local settings file folder you'll have to go into folder options in control panel & make sure under the view tab show hidden files & folders is selected.
