Hi,
It would appear that (both you of) have been infected with SpyWare. The best
bet to removing spyware is to hire some muscle to do it for you.
The muscle I am referring to (on this occasion) happens to be a free program
called AdAware. So you aren't really hiring anybody, so much as getting rid of a
pesky problem. AdAware is a straight-forward program designed to remove ad-ware
with as little a hassle as problem.

Remember to 'Check for updates' so that you are protected against the
latest threats. Once updated, run the program to eliminate any other spyware
programs which were left behind or missed.
While AdAware should remove this particular bug, some others may have
slipped past. Thus, it's a good idea to use CWShredder to remove some of the
varients which may have been missed. CWShredder is available at:

This neat little guide is filled with valuable tips on protecting your
computer.
With this knowledge, and a few snappy programs, you can turn the tide and
return your computer to its natural, productive, state.
Best regards,
Altrus
