Re-directed from New Threats

Can anyone help here.
My IE is being redirected to wxx.sweepstakes.com
I have got the latest updates for Spybot S&D and also I have been using Lavasoft's Adaware and also Norton Internet security. Running these does get rid of the problem, In fact the problem looked solved when I ran Spybot but i ran the others to make sure.
In other words my IE will go to the correct homepage but within 10 mins my IE is redirected back to wxx.sweepstakes.com so there is something hidden that I need to get rid of.
I have made several searches of the internet but without any luck.
Can anyone offer advise or is this truely a "new" threat

Post a HijackThis 1.99.1 log
First Make a new folder, example C:\AntiSpyWare
and download/Save HijackThis, to that new folder.
This is necessary to ensure you have backups should anything go wrong
http://www.merijn.org/files/HijackThis.exe
Double click HijackThis.exe, Hit None of the above, just start the program.
Hit Scan When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button. Press that, save the log somewhere, and please show us its contents.
Most of what it lists will be harmless or even required, so do NOT fix anything yet.
