This has been goin on with me for bout a week.Now it
seems to be branching out to other sites I frequent.This
is about 7th-8th person I have seen in various forums
with this problem.....virus maybe.....trojan......all
virus scanners and trojan scanners come back
clean.....what next?

Check for parasites that will do just that.

IE 6.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.

Let AD-Aware Scan your system for advertising Spyware

or:

SpyBot-S&D

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.
