I was browsing in hopes of trying to fix this problem and happened on this site. I am using Win XP, sorry I don't know what service pack.
I have lots of new weird stuff on my computer. I have gathered from my few short minutes on this site that I should post a Hijack this log, but I don't know what that is. If that would help, could someone advise me on how to obtain it and post a log.
The best single page I have found: HijackThis Quick Start Page . It includes a download link and the most basic instructions.
According to the evidence in your post, you have both hijackers and viruses. Grisoft AVG is one of the best anti-virus programs, and free for personal use.
You should use Spybot Search & Destroy and/or Ad-Aware spyware/adware tools, as well. You can find links to both on my Malware Information page, along with more detailed information. I know it's a lot of information, but as long as you continue to use Internet Explorer and Outlook instead of Mozilla you are forced to become an expert on malware of every type.

Please Download hijackthis from
http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip
Unzip, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".
After the scan has finished the "scan" button will turn into a "save log" button
save the log file and paste it here
Do not delete anything yet, as most things hijackthis finds are harmless and needed.

I originally did that and it didn't work. I'm sorry. I am not trying to be difficult. The file is saved in a .txt on my desktop. I have tried to copy and paste it from there several times, just doesn't work. What am I supposed to do?
1.Double-click on the .TXT file. It will open in NotePad or WordPad.
2. Single-click on the File menu, then move down the list on the drop-down menu to the menu-item Select All. Alternatively, press the keyboard shortcut [Ctrl]+[A] (Ctrl-All). This will highlight all the text in the file.
3. Once again, single-click on the File menu, then move down the list on the drop-down menu, this time to the menu-item Copy. Alternatively, press the keyboard shortcut [Ctrl]+[C] (Ctrl-Copy). This copies the text to the Clipboard.
4. In your browser, open the Post Reply window in the forum. Make sure that the cursor is blinking there.
5. Go to the browser's File menu, then move down the list on the drop-down menu to the menu-item Paste. Alternatively, press the keyboard shortcut [Ctrl]+[V].
6. Voila!

Hi Rose
I have a feeling this this will turn out to be something simple.
So let's try something simple first....
Go to start/run and type in notepad...click ok
This will open a new notepad
Now type in "this is a test"
Highlight the text you have written....right click ...copy
Move down the page a couple of lines...right click...paste
Did it work ?
This will tell us whether information is being retained by the clipboard.
