sprintsearch

[carolyn]

I use IE6 and XP Pro. I seem to have picked up a
programme that has added *xtra's* to my IE browsers tool
bar and also seems to redirect me to their homepage if i
type an incorrect url.

There has been one instance when using html chat that on
submitting a post it actually redirected me also.

it is sprintsearch..

can anyone please tell me how to remove this. I have run
adaware spybot etc all to no avail
