My browser has been hijacked by the above. I have
searched KB to no avail, I have tried Adaware and
Hijackthis but I can't get rid of it.

Every few times I open IE I get a search window on the
left with "Search the Web, just type it and go!", then a
window opens with search links and I have to Ctrl-Alt-Del
to clear it.

HELP!!!

Do the steps listed below. Follow all instructions carefully:

HiJackThis: - Free

Go to
http://computercops.biz/downloads-cat-14.html ,
or
http://tinyurl.com/2oce8
or
http://tinyurl.com/2atxk

and download HiJackThis. Unzip to a folder other than your Desktop or the
Temp folder, doubleclick HiJackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log"
button. Press that, save the log some place you remember where it is. Most
of
what it lists will be harmless or even required, so DO NOT fix anything yet.

Open a the copy of your log in NotePad and made a copy. Then you can go here
to post you log:
http://forum.aumha.org/

Go to the HiJackThis section on the forum list and click to open. You can
post as a guest. It's also a good site to keep for reference. The experts
there will analyze the log and report back the results. Please allow at
least a few hours or a days time for a response.

Remember, you must return to the HJT site to get your answer. It is a good
idea to click the "Notify" box so that you will get an electronic
notification by e-mail to let you know when a response has been posted.
But, you must still return to the site of your answer

It is also possible you have parasites on your system. Download, install,
update and run the programs below. They are free and very effective. Be sure
to run both SpyBot and Adaware, as what one does not detect the other may.
Follow the directions carefully.

SpyBot Search & Destroy: Free
