Hi Michael,
I have run Spybot in the past and it didn't find the
culprit.. I have cleaned the registry one more time and
then installed Spyware Blaster so hopefully that will
keep the darn thing from re-infecting. I didn't see any
reference to idgsearch in the Spyware Blaster list but I
will check for updates.
Thanks
Geoff
