Trusted sites should be under your complete control at all times - even in
IE

Download the free version of AdAware http://www.lavasoft.de and Spybot
Search and Destroy http://www.safer-networking.org/. (also free) Update
both of them immediately and then scan your system. BTW, set AdAware to
ignore the Spybots folder. Update your antivirus program and do a total
scan with that. Haul off to Microsoft update and get all the fixes.
