Keith -

Try this method as posted below:

This has been a very vexing problem for some time now, and most recent
research into it seems to indicate that running Ad-Aware with the latest
updates *should* fix it.

Ad-Aware

Ad-Aware Tutorial

Install Ad-Aware, and then search for updates using the GUI updates button.
Most recent reference file is
01R329 06.07.2004 Run the program, and have it clean whatever it finds (an
exception may be Alexa related links; that's entirely up to you).

Run it a second time, and also try a scan in safe-mode as well.

Another tool which has shown itself to be somewhat effective is CWShredder
