Cheers for all your help guys

If it finds anything, it should repair it or quarantine the file. The search may take around 20 minutes. As for your other question relating to symantec in the class root. Yes delete these as well. But only Symantec. Hope you get it up and running.

I much prefer Opera. You can get rid of the ads by paying to register it, or alternatively, take a walk on the dark side and get the crack!

Re: any computer wiz's out there
Definetely sounds like a browser hijack/spyware. There is only one think that will get rid of that for you, straight from the registry, that program is called ad-aware se, its the latest version, and its free to download.
www.thinkgeek.com
They should have it for download there, after you've cleared it, try getting HIJACKTHIS, from the same site. What sites have you been visiting then eh

Re: any computer wiz's out there
I am a firefox user at work and Mozilla user at home. Only use IE when some idiotic site requires active X, the same mechanism websites use to plant malware in your PC.
Firefox has not reached version 1 and is not a final release so I am looking forward to the end result.
