LOL, I have to agree...

Download either or both Ad-Aware and SpyBot S&D, update them, and have them scan your drives./

If after that still no joy, go to http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/ , and download Hijack This.

Unzip, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
Press that, and save the log somewhere

Next, go to http://www.spywareinfo.com/forums/

Sign in, go to the Spyware and Hijackware Removal section, press "new topic", explain your
problem, and copy and paste the contents of the Hijack This log into your new message. You'll get
expert assistance in dealing with your problem.
