You have a variant of the Smitfraud-Spyaxe trojan. Here is Symantec's
writeup on this:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/trojan.desktophijack.c.html

In addition to doing the manual work suggested there, I'd also go
through these removal steps:

Do the preparation work and other removal steps listed here also:

If you go to the Symantec link I gave the OP, you'll see right away what
