Even though my homepage is set correctly in Internet Options in IE, I get redirected to http://iesecurepage.com/. I regretfully installed a toolbar that I have since removed. I have run Norton, Adaware, and Microsoft Defender, but I cant get rid of this homepage redirection.

You have a brower hijacker on your PC. Run these free scans to remove it.
All of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.
I-Worm/Stration · BackDoor.Generic3.GBB and .GBC · Worm/Generic.FX · Exploit.WMF

Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

After uninstalling the toolbar, did you try to go into internet options and resetting your homepage again? Remember to always click apply when done. Hope this helps.
