before you use the cleaner, do a search on your system for
any files that have more then one ending on them.
For example if you have a file that ends like this
.exe.scr or .jpg.scr then you have the klez for
certain.

run msconfig and send back whats running at startup!
see if you can detail the properties of that icon that says
Chris's home page, just right click on it and view
properties, post back with that info!
 visit here for a free online virus scan, highly
recommended. http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

visit here for a free trojan scan (in case the virus scan
doesn't see it)

http://webzila.com/virusscan.html

I suggest that you also check to see if someone has
installed a key logger onto your system, visit here and
page down a bit for the trial version

Not sure just what is going on, but gathering data never
hurts! if someone else has a clue feel free to pitch in!
