That's what you think....



Give http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ a try - free online scanner.

DSO Exploit
"Possible" Extenstion High-Jack

Which I have now just fixed

If you use Spybot, why not use an AV prog too?

Definitely second that


Also try....

Spywareblaster - http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

Helps "immunise" your PC against spy-/ad-ware in the 1st place.


But it's still *really* worth using an AV prog too Scott.
Spywareblaster is an excellent tool and if you load it on a clean install it can dramatically reduce the ammount of rubbish you have to keep cleaning out
