actually.....that is a hijacker..... very difficult to get rid of.

1. run virus scan----> http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/lng/us/tpl/v5
2. run adware scan--> http://www.download.com/3000-8022-10045910.html
3. run a cleaner that can get rid of highjackers.--> http://www.download.com/3120-20_4-0....acker&tg=dl-20

good luck with all this...let us know.
