This is purely malware, and the hooks are deeply tied into the IE
browser at this point.
head over to the MS site and look for sysinternals and the process
explorer. it will find processes that are obfuscated from task manager
and give you something to look for and help purge from your system.
something to consider also at this point is a wipe and recover, and
then something like clonezilla to make a disk image for some level of
fast recovery.
i have been using windows for a long time and i consider most any
windows desktop as disposable and keep my real data on a server. (also
do mean things to my windows installs)

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
