It's hard to say whether or not this situation could be caused by spyware that
has not been detected by Adaware, but it is generally well accepted that a good
practice is to have more than one spyware program on your PC.
I have had very good luck with Microsoft's Windows Defender.
It can be found at:

It seems like it would be worth trying it out to see if it finds anything.

Subject: [real-eyes] altaVista
Hi,
Starting a few days ago AltaVista has been taking over web pages. It either
hangs there for a while (on dialup) and then moves on to the web site I asked
for, or
will just go there and stop and I have to try again. I eventually get to
where I'm going, but always through this AltaVista thing. Google is still set
as my home page, yet when I launch IE from the desktop it will go to
AltaVista most times, and sometimes on to Google. Does anyone know where this
came
from and how I get rid of it? I ran adaware but that didn't help.
Suzanne
