Hi Joe
You have Hijackware on your system causing this problem. Be aware, your
Anti-Virus won't detect all types of warez, Trojans, malware, worms, etc.,
and neither can other adware or spyware related programs such as AdAware and
SpyBot. They don't have the proper definitions. They must also be run in
Safe Mode with Hidden Files enabled in order to fully scan all files. Even
if you have run such programs and nothing shows up, it does not mean your
system is clean. It takes a series of programs to fully clean your machine.
Some very aggressive and damaging variants of malware can replicate
themselves repeatedly, or mutate, if not removed properly. Follow the
information and instructions below to fully clean your system.
