I have been having this problem since February. I have tried EVERYTHING. I
even bought a new computer and have the same problem. I have spent tons of
money trying to get to the root of this problem.
When I took my computer for the 2nd time to a Microsoft partner, they said
"Someone has been messing with your security system" I said no kidding. I
had tried to tell them that. I think I finally found out what the problem
is.
There is a vulnability in the internet explorer that takes you to different
web pages. You may think you are on ebay but you are on a phony baloney
site... it applies to most sites. I downloaded the opera browser and now do
not have that problem. If you want more information on this you can go to:
http://www.sans.org/rr/whitepapers/application/1637.php To read all about
it. You will need to have an acrobatic reader.

unpatched Internet Explorer vulnerability that I will explain in detail. The
vulnerability deals with the status bar, which is the space in Internet
Explorer (and all other browsers) in the lower left hand corner that
displays, among other things, the destination of the hyperlink that you
currently have your curser positioned over. Due to a bug in Internet Explorer
it is possible to construct a link that will display one web site link in the
status bar, but really take you to a different web site. I have posted an
example of this at:
http://www.defensiveintuition.com/ieexploit.html
Going to this site presents you with a page that links to
http://www.defensiveintuition.com. When you move your mouse over this link
you will see “http://www.brown.edu” appear in the status bar. However, if you
are using MS Internet Explorer, clicking this link takes you to a different
site (in
this example, and all others in this article, it should take you to
http://www.google.com). Now try going to this website in Firefox and notice
that
you will be taken to the correct web site.

It is true. I was getting spyware, phony websites from my internet
explorer. PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT. I could never understand why my symantec
updates weren't working, and why my virus protection was turned off.
Microsoft needs to fix this problem.
Good luck
