Internet Explorer and Replacer.exe

[Guest]

Everytime I start Internet Explorer a program called Replacer.exe starts up and comsumes 95+% of my CPU. I can terminate the process through Task Manager, but the process starts again everytime I start Internet Explorer. I have found the executable and deleted it, but it comes back after restaring IE. I have run several Spyware programs (Spyhunter, Spyware Doctor, Spy Sweeper and eTrust EZ Antivirus) that did not find the problem.

Any suggestions on fixing this problem would be appreciated.

You've got spyware, adware, a trojan, a search engine hijacker, or a home
page hijacker.
