Hi Bodawg

Please download HijackThis . This program will help us determine if there are any spyware/malware on your computer. Double-click on the file you just downloaded. It will by default install to the directory - C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis.

Make sure you close down EVERY open window and close ALL browser windows. The only thing that should be open is the HijackThis program.
If it gives you an intro screen, just choose 'Do a system scan and save a log file'.
If not, run a scan and save the log file.
Copy the text file (Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C) and paste it (Ctrl+V) in a new thread in the Viruses, Spyware and other Nasties Forum
Do not fix any entries in HijackThis since they may be harmless.
Make sure to include the System information at the top of the log as well.
