Joe, Here is a link to my post in Kendall's popup thread. It contains links to the best of the security products. I suspect what you need for this problem is WinPatrol (linked in the referenced post). This will keep your browser from being hijacked. HijackThis! is also excellent and is a good way to produce a listing you can send to tech support people to help you with problems. Still, WinPatrol will watch your back all the time and alert you if your browser is being hijacked, unwanted programs are being inserted into your startup procedures or, optionally, if unwanted cookies are being placed on your system. Spend the $19 for the Plus version, it gives you online access to detailed descriptions of every process running or available to run on your computer.
