A program called Hijackthis is great for seeing if anything has been changed on your PC that perhaps shouldn't be there. Unfortunately you need to be careful you don't 'fix' things that don't need fixing, but a Google search for anything you find suspicious is usually the best thing to do before making any kind of change. There's always some other poor sod who has had the same problem.


Actually a Google search on your problem reveals a forum post, with a link to how to solve your problem.

Thanks guys, the link that professorspatula found work for me. Just to let every one know, Spybot S&D does not get rid of this, I have it and tried a few times. Thanks for the help guys.

It's amazing that such a simple exploit can be gotten away with. How on earth does the OS allow it to be modified.
