IE6 - Prosearch Infection

[R. Raschke]

Do not know how I picked it up, but an annoying little
search tool caled prosearch now opens with my IE6.

I have:

1. Changed my home page settings in "Internet Options"
2. Deleted all files I could find associated with
Prosearch from Windows Explorer (searched system and
hidden files too)
3. Deleted any reference to Prosearch in the registry.

The beast keeps on coming back.

Can anyone tell mehow to make this go away?

Thanks in advance.
