Yes, you have a Trojan.
I had this last week after accessing the Marshall Amps forum (of all place). If I opened IE9 I got splattered. I have NOD32 anti Virus and it found and quarantined the Trojan but not before it had switched off part of NOD32, so it kept re-spawning and being quarantined. Scary. This was on my laptop and not my music PC thank goodness. I emailed the issue to NOD32 but then thought about Window restore points. Luckily I had a restore point to two hours before and I activated that, after which all was well. See if that helps, as it's obviously impractical to go onto the net to get CCleaner for example. (Unless you have a second, clean machine and can load it from a USB stick to the infected machine).
