It looks like a nasty browser hijacker, NOT a virus. Try SpyBot Search & Destroy instead of AdAware -- it works better. Download links are available from http://Security.Kolla.de, where you can also find an EXCELLENT forum where you can post this question.

As far as virus checkers go, I can't recommend Norton; it's too much of a resource hog. I use Grisoft AVG from http://www.Grisoft.com (free for personal use). AVG runs in the background like McAfee or Norton (but I like it better than either).
