I agree with everyone here. However I just had one like what you are describing and I found that I needed to download the latest Spybot and Adaware signatures. Then reboot into safe mode (No Networking) to get rid of it. -Chris
And for the record, if you need to boot to Safe Mode to get rid of that cruft, you probably should also turn off System Restore (in XP), just in case it's also hiding in there and restores itself on the next reboot.
