Trojan/Worm suspect in Vista

IE07 opens new sites/windows by it self. I suspect it's trojan/worm but
Windows and McAfee could not dtect anything

I am not fussed on McAfee at all!
The security I use is listed below.

Try booting into Safe Mode, as per instructions below, and doing a scan with
McAfee.
If if does not work, uninstall it, and install Avast Anti-virus, and repeat
scan.

Avast Anti-Virus is Vista compatible (32bit and 64bit Versions), FREE,
auto-updating, and a low resources user of your computer.
And, only have 1(one) Anti-Virus installed / running on your computer at any
one time..
Conflicts may occur if you have more than 1(one).

Spybot Search & Destroy 1.5.2 is a very good, FREE Anti-Spyware Program.
Download, install, update, and immunize your System with it.
Then SCAN with it.
Update once a fortnight.

SpywareBlaster 4.0 is a non-intrusive, FREE Anti-Spyware Program that runs
in the background.
Update it once a fortnight, and let it do its work in the background!

If you happen to find a problem that you can’t uninstall / delete, reboot
the computer, and go into Safe Mode.
To get into Safe mode, tap F8 right at Power On/ Startup, and use UP and
DOWN arrow keys to get to Safe Mode, then hit ENTER.
RESCAN your computer with Avast and Spybot S & D while in Safe Mode.

It sounds like a spyware infection. Antivirus programs are generally not
very effective against these. I suggest you install Spybot Search and
Destroy and SUPERAntiSpyware and update both and run full scans.
You can download both here

It sounds more like spyware and adware than it does a virus. First, AVG has
a free antivirus that is much better than McAfee (http://free.grisoft.com).
But, to get rid of the spyware infection, you can download and install
Spybot: Search & Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/). Run that, and
your system should be a lot better.

I just installed Spybot. I have a question regarding updating. It had me
choose where to update from. I live in the eastern time zone, USA. What
should I "check"?
