Suzanne, Unfortunately this sort of thing is fairly common and very annoying. You either got it from some web site you visited or from some software package you installed containing malware. I do believe that Spy Sweeper will get rid of it. Believe me, it is well worth the price of $29.95 for two years of protection as Spy Sweeper will help to keep this kind of crap from getting back on your machine.

How did I get such a thing? Hopefully your suggestions will work. Suzanne _____ This email scanned for Viruses and Spam by ZCloud.net using SpamViper
