popup bar

[tanya]

Everytime I start Internet explorer a popup bar appears
at the bottom of the screen. The address of this bar is
(http://ecmh.com/passthrough/popupbaropener.html-
Microsoft Internet Explorer). Help me get it off my
screen never to return again. Any ideas??

Sounds like spyware or a home page hijacker.
