I have had that get into my computer before, Ad-Aware is the best
solution. It is a freeware scan program that finds spyware (Norton and
such still dont, no matter how current the update) Ad-Aware found it and
deleted it for me. I noticed it when it changed around some of my
toolbars on my internet browsers.   I now run ad-aware every couple of
weeks and hqave had no more problems.
