virus ?

[John]

Whenever I try to bring up a search engine - yahoo
search, or lycos or google - internet explorer sends me
to this IP address 64.191.95.139. I brought up my hosts
file and found that some malicious program had put in all
the search engine names and matched them to this address.
I took them out of my hosts file and rebooted but it
still sends me there. Help. John Z
