Hi Albert,

Please download and run the following program:

http://www.spychecker.com/program/hijackthis.html

To run it, go to Config>Misc. Tools>Generate StartUpLog and post your
results back here.

Also, try going into the following file:

Win95/98/ME: C:\Windows\hosts
Windows NT/2000/XP Pro: C:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Windows XP Home: C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

If there is anything within the file, remove it.

Sincerely,
Benjamin "Trafton" Johnstone-Anderson
