Bert,
Housecall ran clean. Isn't this considered to be a good online virus
scan?

Ad-Aware found the the files I mentioned earlier are from vendor VX2,
but it could not remove them either.

Spybot found CoolWWWSearch but could not remove that either. I ran
the SmartKiller MiniRemoval tool but it reported that "v1/v2 has not
been found on your system."
