Did you take care to uncheck the Toolbar and Homepage options during the installation?

If you let the installation go ahead as default, check around in Add/Remove programs for an entry like "Daemon Tools Toolbar" or something similar. Remove it. Daemon tools will still work after.

You can change the Internet Explorer homepage manually by going into Internet Options.

This is only a minor problem though, as far as I can tell, compared to the state of the rest of your computer. I'm still waiting for a reply to the BleepingComputer thread, so I can't tell you to change too much or the HijackThis log that I posted will be less accurate.
