Thanks to everyone! It's adware. It showed up in Spybot
scan as BlazeFind.Bridge, and in Programs as blaze.dll.
It's gone now, and good riddance. Here's Google:
   
"Symantec Security Response - Adware.BlazeFindBEHAVIOR:
Adware.BlazeFind installs itself as a Browser Helper
Object and redirects search queries. SYMPTOMS ...
Adware.BlazeFind. Last ...
sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/adware.blazefind.html"

Can't really say exactly what you have on your machine,
but files with
this name are known to be associated with spyware. search
on Google for
  "bridge.dll" to get some perspective.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.
