An easier way to deal with this is to remove spyware with Spybot Search
& Destroy from www.security.kolla.de and Ad-aware from
www.lavasoftusa.com. Be sure to update these programs before running
them. It is best to run antivirus and spyware removal tools in Safe
Mode. Of course, you should have a current antivirus program running at
all times. "Current" means a version not earlier than 2002 using
updated definitions.

Then download Hijack this from http://merijn.org/ and post your log in
the forums at www.spywareinfo.com. You'll get great help there.
