If you're not sure it could be spyware or something else, then best to find out. It's best to run a few anti-spyware programs to ensure you get anything and everything that may be affecting your IE. Ad-Aware, Spybot, HijackThis, CWShredder, Spyware Blaster and A-Squared are among the standard and best of the lot and all free [for A-Squared, download the FREE version, not Personal one, unless you want to end up paying for it after the trial period]. And of course update and run your anti-virus through your system. Once all that has been done, if the problem persists, repost with additional details, if possible, of what's going wrong.
