Titan hassles

I am trying to get rid of a screen that keeps appearing when I log in on my IE homepage. It overrides msn.com and shows about:balnk on the toolbar. I have scanned with both McAfee nd Adaware and have gotten rid of the popups but cannot get rid of the titan homepage...I have run a HJT scan and have tried to attach it here. The board tells me that a message cannot contain more than 20000 characters...what do I do?
 
Thanks!

Thanks

Extract all the files to your Destop. A folder named SmitfraudFix will be created on your Desktop
 
Note : process.exe is part of the SmitFraudFix tool and is detected by some antivirus programs (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky, Panda) as a "RiskTool"; it is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user.
 
2. Reboot into Safe Mode
You can usually do this by restarting your computer and continually tapping F8 until a menu appears. Highlight Safe Mode and hit enter.

3. Once in Safe mode, open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd

Select option #2 - Clean by typing 2 and press Enter.
Wait for the tool to complete and disk cleanup to finish.
You will be prompted : " Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry ?" answer Yes by typing Y and hit Enter.
The tool will also check if wininet.dll is infected. If a clean version is found, you will be prompted to replace wininet.dll. Answer Yes to the question " Replace infected file ?" by typing Y and hit Enter.

Then Reboot back to normal and it should be titan free.
