I have this happen with a dll attached to iexplore.exe. The dll was placing pornography in a new IE window everytime any action was done in IE, even opening the Internet options opened a new IE window with Porn.   I had to boot up Windows Recovery command window to delete the dll from system32 and dllcache.   BTW dllcache is where windows stores it's back up copies of files.
