Browser hijacking itself...

I'm using IE, Windows XP
Anyways, the problem is, half the time when I type a web address (Any web address, Yahoo, Google, even here at Open Tech), my browser seems to select a random page to open, often it'll randomly open Altavista, sometimes it'll open another site that I know I've been to in the past few days, sometimes it opens pages I don't think I've ever been to, often porn. These aren't pop-up banners, it's when I type my destination in the address bar, it seems to load a different page than the one I've asked for. It also happens when clicking links, I can click an auction on eBay, and all of a sudden I'm at some carebears messageboard.
Any ideas?

Delete the temporary internet files and also delete your cookies, that might help a bit.

I've already done both of those, to no avail. =\

I already have both AdAware and Spybot, as well as PC-Cillan, Hijack This, and Popup Stopper

Have you updated any of those anti-spyware programs lately? It might be something new.. or even a virus. Go to http://housecall.trendmicro.com and run the free online virus scan and see if anything turns up.
