Run MSCONFIG32 and look for any odd programs that are starting up with your pc.

Norton doesn't detect all viruses. Try http://housecall.antivirus.com/ see if they pick it up.

Good point...

I should have remembered that.

In that case do CTRL+ALT+DEL and look for any odd looking programs. Close them.

Do an on-line virus scan.

So there weren't any odd looking programs and have you done the on-line virus scan?

If that doesn't do it, try re-installing IE.
