hmmm....let's check for malware..... if you could click on the prework link in my signature, that will have you go through some preliminary steps that will clean out some of the nasties in there, and should leave you with three logs, one from spysweeper, one from AVG (be sure to choose 'quarantine' on all the items it finds) and one from HJT. If you could then attach them all as .txt files, we can get started.

Thanks,
