Something just got me!!!!! HELP

[Bob]

Hello everybody,
I was just on the net and I downloaded something called "begin2search.com"
It looks like it's in the history but I can't find history on the computer.
If anyone has heard of this one please send me some help in getting rid of
it. I am running Microsoft win xp sp2 everything up to date. This thing
turns words on pages green and makes them clickable like a link then you are
taken to a page that wants to sell you something. Thanks in advance if you
can help.
