If it's not working then most probably it's because of spyware. Get a spyware remover. I personally prefer Adware from Lavasoft. You can download the free version here.

Most of the time, this will fix the problem.

Hijackthis is also a very useful software for spyware removal. but you need to be very careful with this software. If you're not familiar with Hijackthis, I suggest doing some research before start using it. Click here to go to Hijackthis download page.
