for anyone who responded to my post, thank you very much. Blasted thing is now gone, along with a whole lot more of malware and data miners. I was under the impression that enabling my firewall would prevent this kind of thing (and yes, my windows updates are all done), but apparently not.

Other firewalls didn't allow me access to the net even when disabled, and my ISP told me I had to actually uninstall them.

tell ya they're coming. best to have a good firewall, i
like outpost. careful of the web sites you go to.

Try these.

SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware - it prevents it from ever
being installed.

IE-SPYAD puts over 4000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected
when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all.
