any luck on this?

If you have that spyware that crabb is talking about.

I say see if a friend can download HIJACKTHIS for you.

This will show you everything running and also registry entries it that may have been changed by different programs. And allow you to kill it.

I had the same issue on my dad'd machine a couple of weeks ago.

I was able to clean it up pretty good with just these 3 programs. HIJACKTHIS, AD-AWARE AND SPYBOT SEARCH & DESTROY VER 1.3.

also del all your temp directories!!
