    Have you tried an updated Adaware or SpyBot yet ?

    I'm going to move this post to another forum section.

    Definitely get Spybot and/or Adaware, you may want both.

    However, I would first go and download CWShredder

    Scroll to the bottom of the page for the download

    After you download the "normal" .exe, close down all instances of open browsers, double click to run it(if you download the .exe version) and follow the directions to fix any problems. You will probably want to restart your computer afterwards.

    If niether Adaware nor SpyBot fis hugeseach
    (and they probaly wont) get hijackthis and post its log here for us


    Post a log from HijackThis so one of the experts can see
    what's going on.
    current version 1.97.7
    If you've used it before please dont have anything excluded

    Get it here http://www.merijn.org/downloads.html
    save, NOT OPEN
    Unzip it to a PERMANANT folder, Close your zip program, double-click HijackThis.exe,and hit "Scan ".
    When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
    Press that, save the log, load it in Notepad, and copy its contents here. Most of what it lists will be harmless, even essential,DON'T fix anything yet please.

    Your right Lonny, they probably won't fix it. If you go to the
    link I posted and do some reading, look under the CWS.Msoffice variant of CoolWebSearch. Can't be 100%
    positive but I would say that CWShredder should help with
    the problem.
    It would be a good first step before posting a log.
