Question Is this Spyware, a virus or something else?

Ok now i'm confused

I set my homepage for when I open internet explorer as my e-mail account, but recently it has changed to this:

http://quickmetasearch.com/?said=acc0001_ho

No matter how many times I go into the internet options page and change it back, it keeps re-appearing after opening a second page. I scanned my system with ad-aware, deleted a few items and re-booted, then with spybot search and destroy, again a few items and a re-boot. Finally I ran a virus scan that came up empty

This thing is really stating to p!$$ me off

If anyone knows how to get rid of this, could they post a reply. I can post a Hi-jack this report if it helps?

Many Thanks

S.C.
