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.
