My sister gave me a call about how every time she loads IE, it won't allow her to view any other sites. She has a search page that first comes up when it loads and then she can't do anything else after that. What can she do if she can't even get on the Internet to download the HijackThis program? Thanks!

Cetainly sounds like she's been hijacked.
HijackThis is small enough to fit on a floppy, but unfortunately SpyBot and Ad Aware are not. Your best bet is to d/l all three of those utilities on another computer, burn them to CD, and get them on to your sister's computer that way.
If you do find spyware/hijackware/etc. on her system please start a new thread on the subject in the new Security forum, as that forum is where these sort of questions belong now.
