Thanks Mike

CWShredder fixed my problem.

What does HijackThis do? I haven't loaded it yet.

mfw,
It simply runs a scan and produces a text file of certain Registry
settings and certain file Startup locations, used for diagnostic purposes.

Just follow the instructions and post the log file to one of the Forums
mentioned. Post back with the URL where you posted if you want help
with the log. Note: HijackThis should be used *after* running SpyBot
and\or Ad-Aware. This will help clean out the junk ...... (if any)
