First off...Dump your temp internet files. Update your windows...make sure you get everything that is listed as "critical"... This "may" correct the problem.

Secondly...Try using more than one Spyware and Virus removal program. No one companies product is exstensive enough to cover ALL possible spyware, malware, and viruses being progamed THIS VERY INSTANCE!

When using multiple "cleansing" programs. You will see that one program often detects malicious items on your computer that the other program did not.
So using more than one spyware and anti-virus program doubles your protection.

Also...
Try deactivating your "active desktop" via your desktop properties. (i/e: right click, select properties.)

Also, check to see what "homepage" your browser is set to open up to.

Your active desktop can be told to display your browsers homepage... there is a known malware that changes your browsers homepage to "whatever"..usualy it's a porn related site, but in this case i think it is simply a single "scam" page.
That page in it's self could contain the code to keep reseting your browsers homepage..wich of course effects your active desktop..and your active desktop is told to open and display online content upon boot up...thus opening up the "scam" page from off the internet every time you reboot your computer....do you see the loop thats occurring here?

And lastly if all else fails, reformat your hard drive.... or call a tech.
