Hi trevtech,

I'm no expert and I usually don't use IE (Mozilla for me), but it could be that some "baddies" have infected your IE and start up with it. Check HERE for some things to do to clean out possible spy/adware.

I would also add a-squared to the list to look for and get rid of malware, find it HERE.

Also, Stinger from Mcafee for viruses, find it HERE.

Also, check out this POST for some on-line scanners, which may find things that Ad-aware and Spybot might miss.

Hope this helps ,

Dave
