    Yes that sounds like Spyware. Download both of these free programs:
    Spybot - http://www.safer-networking.org
    Ad-aware - www.lavasoftusa.com

    *Important* After you download the programs check for Updates BEFORE you
    scan. Both sites have help sections and forums if you need assistance.
    Turn OFF System Restore before you scan. Once your computer is clean you
    can turn it back on.

    More Tools:
    CWShredder - http://209.133.47.200/~merijn/files/CWShredder.exe
    Alternate Download site:
    CW Shredder - http://aumha.org/downloads/cwshredder.zip

    If you still have trouble after running all the above programs, you can get
    this program, scan your system and post your log to a forum for an expert to
    assist you. *Important* Don't try to fix anything with Hijack This-Post
    your log.
    Hijack This - http://209.133.47.200/~merijn/files/HijackThis.exe
    Alternate Download site:
    Hijack This - http://tomcoyote.com/hjt

    Once your system is clean check for Windows Critical Updates.
    Windows Updates - Update Windows regularly (at the very least once a
    month) - ALWAYS download Critical Updates. You can set your computer for
    automatic updates if you prefer.

    > Hi - I seem to have a similar problem. My internet connection has been
    hijacked whereby my modem is disconnected and the line taken up with a
    premium rate line to another website. Each time I uninstall the program it k
    eeps coming back. I have uninstalled the program, my telephone coy have
    barred premium rate lines and I have moved over to broadband (adsl) yet the
    problem persists. It happens each time I connect - I believe this is a
    widespread problem. Any help?
