Dave
   Again thanks for your response. Yes I have tried
sysclean, and adwarese in safe mode per the directions
given prior to this post and again after it. They remove
the problem but it comes back. I'm not sure what is re-
installing this but I can't seem to find out. I was
hoping there was a way to track what program is updating
my registry or at least find out a way to get prompts for
all registry changes but i have limited knowledge in that
area. I guess i just keep lookin. thanx
