Thanks all, ok done (I hope). 

Turned to be a embedded link that quiet fancied parking itself under the OOF Logo, part of visadd virus family apparently. 

No idea how it got there, along with the other crap it planted all over the place, but did manage to disable my MS Essentials as well.

tut tut.

As you know, safe mode, full scans, and even offline scans if you have the capabilities. Might be worth checking for rootkits as well.

Personally, on the rare occasions I believe I've been compromised, I burn and build.

Takes Days/weeks to get back to where you were though....I find a roll back does the job sometimes

I normally do a cloned image of a fresh build with every thing I need on it, ie Office, Mail etc, however last time I needed it it failed to boot, must lock into that one now Ive some fresh Win7 disks back, however as you say can be a bit painful getting things up to speed again, especially with all the windows updates required these days.

A rollback rarely gets rid of any compromises.

Is the OPs web search throwing up anything odd - if you get Trovi adware or something pesky like that then all sorts of crap pitches up - it is easy to remove in uninstall programmes and then (in IE) manage add ons - search providers and delete.
