Whats it doing exactly? If its just diverting your IE pages then it could just be spyware.

Its not a trojan really, just a spyware injection. If you stick the dll name into google loads of stuff comes up about it.

Probabaly  .
Alot of the links seemed to recommend running Hijack this. Give that a run and follow one of the links. As long as you dont delete anything important nothing should break.

should run spyware blaster as that prevents any spyware being installed by filling up your reg with keys that the spyware use - works pretty well, yet to have any problems 
also, it has a few bits and bobs to stop sypware taking over your 'home' address etc

Spybot S&D
Ad-Aware SE Personal
CCleaner
AVGFree (anti-viral also)
run these once a fortnight and stay as clean as a whistle, and keeps your machine ticking over perfectly

once you get loads of spyware or a virus, even if you clean it with something its never the same, always a rebuild for me if it happens

It most probably would have changed ur hosts file as well, which if you do something wrong you will be rendered without use of the internet.
