Problems with the computer

When I start the computer, the first thing that shows up is a window with cmd.exe, the dos window, and then a error window saying that iel.exe is not a valid Win32 application. Anyone know what the hell this is?

On a side note, Spybot keeps asking me if I want to change a registy value that, after I made a search, I discovered to be in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\SearchBar, and would lead to this:

Obviously some stupid spyware toolbar that can't get removed neither by spybot nor by hand... I tried deleting the registy, it comes back. I changed it to no, it comes back. Heck, I even changed it to BattleForums.com, it changes back. I don't know what to do, specially because it keeps changing every 30 seconds, and I don't want to turn the option down...

On a side note, there are some icons in my desktop that do not appear there if I go trough windows explorer... They too are of spyware and whatnot (Casino, Travel, Shopping, etc). They did not go away with Spybot, as well. And I'm tired of it. Getting a good firewall is out of question, unfortunately.
