Get Spybot and Ad-aware to scan your system for unwanted spyware. What you
describe is typical of this problem. Both are free.

Here's the fix.

Download
http://216.180.233.153/~merijn/files/CWShredder.exe

Then
Hit Alt,Ctrl, Delete (Windows Task Manager)
You'll see the real explorer.exe
And
There's also a Fake explore.exe listed, notice theres "NO" R at the end
of the file name.
End this process (explore.exe)
Now close all browser windows.
and run CWShredder


Once complete REBOOT the PC!
This worked for me!
Peace Out - St0ney
