A friend of mine just started to get a very similar problem. It seems
he has a virus (Norton called it w32.spybot.<something else I can't
remember>). Sounds like you have a variant of this. In his case, it
infected his IEXPLORE.EXE in the system32 dir. I'd be interested to
know what file yours is in, that is - if I'm right about all this.
