   Have you tried scanning for spyware? There are many free ones out there. I found this guide pretty helpful, hope this helps. http://www.basicspywaretips.com/getridofspyware.html

   The procedure should fix Vundo-based Winfixer(WinAntiSpyware, WinAntiVirus, Blackworm, Amaena)problems.

   Please download Atribune’s VundoFix.exe (version 4.2.71 [as of 21 April ’06], or later), from

   http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=4

   and save it to your desktop.

   Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.

   Put a check next to Run VundoFix as a task.

   You will receive a message saying vundofix will close and re-open in a minute or less. Click OK Note: If VundoFix does not reopen after a minute (or two), then you should skip-over the "Run as a task" step, and continue-on to the following steps to SCAN and REMOVE.

   When VundoFix re-opens, click the Scan for Vundo button.

   Once it’s done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button.

   You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click YES
   Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.

   When completed, it will prompt that it will shutdown your computer, click OK.

   Turn your computer back on.

   **************************************

   If VundoFix fixed your problem, then help prevent a re-infection:

   There is much speculation that a "hole" in some older versions of SUN’s Java is being exploited by WinFixer. So you should upgrade to the latest version, 1.5.0_09 from http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

   My personal preference is to download the MANUAL (OFFline) installation (16 MB).

   But if you prefer the online installation, that choice is yours.

   AFTER you successfully install the new Java, go to your control panel, ADD/REMOVE programs, and UNinstall all older versions of Java (if any) that still show up there….
   especially version 1.4.2_03 (which is the most likely "culprit" being blamed).

   All of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.

   Spybot – Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven’t intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don’t see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there’s no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.
