All the Best, Jeannie. Sysclean is extremely good and should be able to catch the culprits.

thank-you for your reply...will try what you suggested and let you know how I
make out. Acts like a virus to me too...figure it must be a brand new one
out, since Norton's says I am clean and so do therir on-line virus checker.

Jeannie,
Definitely looks like a virus activity for me. Try Trend Micro's Sysclean package (free), it's capable of eliminating keyloggers, trojans etc. Full instructions at:
Generic Trojan / Adware Infestation Removal Procedure: http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html
Trend Micro Sysclean package http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=10820
Once done, and maximum junk is eliminated by Trend Micro, follow the advice
