Two programs. Adaware by Lavasoft and Spybot Search and Destroy.

Spybot should do it for you. Also look in add remove programs and uninstall any programs that look like they don't belong.
Once you dowload these you should do the update to dowload the latest pattern file before you scan.

You will find a dos program in system32. Go there and check its properties. If it is not from a vendor you recognize (Microsoft, your virus vendor, etc) delete it.
also is there any s/w which can remove such thing ...

    You have a rouge process that is putting a rouge dll into
    iexplore.exe that is resetting your home page when you launch IE.



    To fix this, download runonce from sysinternals.com and run it. It
    will show you all of the things that are being started when your
    computer starts. You will find a dos program in system32. Go there
    and check its properties. If it is not from a vendor you recognize
    (Microsoft, your virus vendor, etc) delete it. Now download process
    explorer from sysinternals.com and use it to look at the dlls loaded
    by IE. If you see any that are from an <unknown> vendor, go find
    them in rename them, and if IE still loads normally after that
    delete them.
