Internet Explorer / weird Russian flashing overlay

Hello.

I have a problem with IE7. As soon as I run it, a red/yellow flashing popup overlays itself, over every website. It actually loads within the website. Usually, it doesn't cause any problem, other than a massive obstruction. However, related to this I'm sure is that several security websites redirect to search.msn.com (for instance, I cannot visit Trend Micro in IE7). Other browsers (Opera, Safari) are not affected. The popup/overlay has hyperlinks, just regular text, to several sites, including google.ru, gmail.ru, and a few other (legit) websites. Clicking on them does actually take you to those sites, too. Spybot, Adaware, AVG -- nothing has identified it.

Hope you can help. Cheers.
