Make sure you go to control panel --> add/remove programs and you do not see pwallet or any added programs (if there, then remove/uninstall it).
Then go to http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ and download and install Ad-Aware 5.83.
Run it and scan memory, registry and the hdd. If it finds anything, then remove it and when it's done, reboot.
You should be fine for awhile... but keep the ad-aware program installed and run it whenever something takes over IE.

In addition to running AdAware, you might want to install Start Page Guard.

This program will alert you anytime a website or program attempts to change your start / home page.

what happend is you either downloaded a freeware program or visited a site that installs that little "bug" the exploit is called "browser Hijacking" the correct response is to either load and install ad-aware or spy-bot
I would recommend ad-aware for ease of use and spy bot for tech savy users
