Have you tried a spyware/adware removal tool? Look around the Spyware/Adware section of AO for pointers on good tools.
"nounwinclock" ??? that's a new one.. nothin in google on that one..
run hijackthis and post a log.

Good advice, HiJackThis is the way to go. Makes life easy for this sort of thing.
HijackThis is a very good program... another one that I think is a little more user friendly would be ad-aware. They have a free version at:
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
Make sure you update the reference file to get the latest stuff.
Adaware is an excellent utility You would do well to try spybot search and destroy as well Wwhile it is not as intuitive to use it works hand in hand with adawre I use it daily on the job for spyware cleaning
hey people, tell me what this HijackThis do?
for temp fix click view/ toolbars & uncheck the bad toolbar
Hijack this gathers startup information, so when you pc boots, it lists everything program that boots up as well, as well as settings such as your home page in IE, it lists processes, and some other stuff i cant think of. Very effective, because it lets you use your head instead of relying on a scanner to have a certain signature.
Don't forget to give a good download link: http://www.spychecker.com/program/hijackthis.html
From there:
"HijackThis is a tool, that lists all installed browser add-on, buttons, startup items and allows you to inspect, and optionally remove selected items. The program can create a backup of your original settings and also ignore selected items. Additional features include a simple list of all startup items, default start page, online updates and more. Intended for advanced users."
Cheers!
Go to the IE options dialogue, find "Advanced", and from memory there is an option called "Enable third party add-ons" or something similar. Turn it off, and restart all browser windows.
All alien toolbars should be gone.

An idea for someone with time: Tutorial on HiJackthis as it comes up a lot and many people are afraid to use it. Just a thought.
Okay,
HiJackThis is an executeable, run it and save the log. Easy enough, then go through the log line by line and check it against the attached HTML based help file.
Anything that stands out, google by name and find out what it is. Check off those lines you want hiJackThis to remove from your startup and your browser. and your off.
For simple removal from IE, download winpatrol comes with IE Helpers. Simply removes browser helper objects with ease [but it won't completely uninstall it from your system].
Another thouhgt is to use Adaware by lavasoft and Spybot serarch and destroy Apply the updates and run both tools many toolbars are spyware/adware/malware supported
Spy Sweeper is a good utilities to kill adware... You may try to use it.
