Sounds like it might be a trojan of some kind. The link mentions using HijackThis, which we use at work. Just be careful, because we've found that program can be a little overzealous in finding "spyware" that's really legit.

My IE got hijacked a month ago, and I ran every spyware, anti-hijack program I could find. I ended up having to use WinXP lite to uninstall IE, and use my windows CD to reinstall it. -Nick

I have a 5 year old Gateway, with a Pentium III 500, a 13 Gig hard drive, 256K memory, and Mozilla Firefox works like a champ! I highly recommend it
