If it's a hijack, try getting a spyware scanner and cleaning your system. Check the thread here for some spyware killers. I suggest AdAware

I have the exact same problem, and nothing seems to work (Ad-aware, Spybot, SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper).
It didn't do it for those sites, but others it has.
IE6 and XP Home as well.
I just live with as if only happends once or twice a week.

Tried CWShredder? It is specifically targeted towards browser hijack attempts. Great little program.
