It can be very tough to get rid of this program, as it often installs itself in the startup menu. These programs often replicate themselves in your computer when you delete them, too! Check your startup menu, and carefully check the programs listed there. If you see anything listed as a BHO (browser helper object), examine it carefully. Some of them are legitimate, most are not. Before you delete anything, though, I'd recommend running HiJackThis!; a free downloadable program that will scan your entire computer. Copy the results of the scan, and post it on one of those 'geek' sites, someone will be glad to help you. HiJackThis! is for really computer-savvy folks, so just show someone the results who knows what they are looking at! Another good program (that's for us computer-illiterates) is Spyonthis! A very good and thorough spyware scanner. You should be running two or three different spyware scanners, cause not all of them pick up everything. I run Spyonthis, the Yahoo toolbar scanner, and I have my Kaspersky Anti-Virus set to clear the cache and clean out the spyware every hour.<br><b>References : </b><br> You could have a nasty thing called a Browser Hijacker.
