Thanks to all, but:

1. I had the problem before I installed SP2. I was hoping SP2 would fix it.
2. Ad-Aware finds nothing but cookies.
3. BHO Demon finds nothing but Adobe Acrobat, MS Money, and Norton
Antivirus. (All are up to date.)
4. I have already reinstalled IE6, trying to fix the problem. It didn't
help.

Any other ideas?
