Is your default website changed also? If so, what is the address? What
favorites are added? What is the address of these favorites? Do you have
anti-virus software installed? If so, when was the last time you updated
your virus definitions? Also, do you have a adware/spyware removal tool
installed?

We can probably nail this down and resolve it once we can find out what it
is.

Please go to McAfee (http://www.mcafee.com/myapps/mfs/default.asp) and/or Trend
(http://housecall.antivirus.com ) and perform an online scan of your platform then report
back your results.

Based upon those results, we can go on from there.

Supposedly this is what the coolwebsearch trojan does. Go to http://www.antivirus.com and run their online virus scanner. That should get rid of it.
