Boot in safe mode (try F8) and see what is in the startup folder. Remove everything there. I suspect you have a shortcut in your startup folder that is pointing your IE to an evil site. This would not show up on any virus scan or ad-aware type utility.

Great idea. Thank you. I will run MSCONFIG to see what's under the startup tab and also to have the PC boot up in SAFE mode.
