Problem Here - SearchEXE.com my homepage?? huh

[c0rrupt data]

Alright, for some reason every single time I open my Internet explorer the url shows SearchEXE.com and its long, then it flashes and goes to my real homepage (google) and a damn toolbar is at the bottom (large in size) and I can simply just close it, and everythings back to normal.

Alright I want that thing, the searchexe thing to go away. I tried numours things, I tried AD-Aware, Spybot, HiJack This, and most recently, Pest Patrol. And nothing. Still there. Not only is it weird and I tried everything, sometimes when I turn my computer off and restart it the next day, I have maybe 8 icons on my desktop to like Casino sites, Entertainment sites, and I also have more Favourites and a new toolbar intitled (fdf9vudhf or something simluar and messed up).

On the side, I keep getting viruses detected called 'Download.Trojan' I just simply delete them and continue on with my going. (also about the SearchEXE its not a StartPage.Trojan.. or I dont think it is) Keep in mind, I dont have any p2p programs like KaZaa, LimeWire or eMule. And I haven't even touched my torrent downloader in weeks.

Anyway can someone help me get rid of this crud? Maybe a Defragment might fix things.. I dont have a clue, im out of ideas and seeking some advice here.

you have spyware, download a scanner like this one

and remove what it finds, also, click the check for updates link on it from time to time to make sure you have the latest refference files.
