I may be talking too soon, but aswMBR seemd to have killed the beast !!!
I ran the scan, saved the log and clicked FixMBR. The I rebooted and I have no more redirections from firefox, Chrome started to work again and IE is not being spawned anymore. I will keep you posted if it comes back.
Here is the aswMBR log:
