iquicksearch blocks Microsoft.com

This just started, before I installed SP2. A program called Iquicksearch.com
or iquicksearch.net comes up a split second after I connect with the
Microsoft site. I can't find any reference to this program on my computer
and have no idea where it came from. Neither my virus protector nor my spam
blocker knows about this program. The program has a bunch of links on it;
supposedly it's a search engine but only coming up when I connect to MS.com.

Does anybody know this program and how to kill it???

Thanks for the help.

sweeper found at http:\\www.webroot.com
if you already have a spyware program ie spybot search
and destroy in the system make sure that its definations
are up too date.......

Download and run either SpyBot Search & Destroy or Lavasoft's
Ad-aware.
SpyBot here: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html
Ad-aware here: http://www.lavasoftusa.com

Install, obtain the latest reference files immediately and run a Spyware scan
much like you would with your anti-virus scanner.
