Terry Yes, I have used just about every anti this and that. My PC is armed to the teeth.These things are in the registry and probably got there a few years ago. Anti spyware obviously does not recognise them.

Do you use any anti spyware programs and/or antivirus? Cleaning your system will likely help you with your problem. I would start with at least Adaware http://download.com.com/3000-2144-10045910.html?part=69274&subj=dlpage&tag=button , Spybot http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html and SpywareBlaster http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/sbdownload.html for spyware, and AVG http://free.grisoft.com/doc/Get%2BAVG%2BFREE/lng/us/tpl/v5 for antivirus along with an online Panda scan http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/ .
