A new hijacking...for me at least

Let me preface this by saying I was NOT searching porn.  Now that that is out
of the way...

I was searching for inspirational music (for a video I was making), came
across an enya song, but it required a special something or other, so I
installed it...bad move on my part I know.

Now, once I did that, all of the sudden, iexplorer.exe began starting in the
background (Not opening a window that I could see) and began playing random
clips of music and interviews and other miscellaneous things.  No porn, and
there is no discernable change in my homepage or anything like that. (yahoo)

I have ran spybot, Ad-aware, ewido scanner and my anti-virus (avast)

The problem persists!!!  argh !@#*&*(  &*(^ @^&*(%*(^!!!!!!!

What is my next step?

Thanks in advance!

This group is the group for IE for Mac actually. You might want to try
reposting in one of the regular IE groups,
