Looks like I somehow got this virus on my laptop, and it's a pain in the butt.

Question is - Anyone dealt with this before, and is it easily removed??

Thanks..

you more than likely have some spyware hijacking your browser. Start with downloading http://lavasoft.com/

once it's installed, turn off system restore, then run your scan. Let me know if it finds things and is not able to remove them. I will need to know their names for a manual removal

Well, Bill... preciate it. Adaware got it off - much improved performance that Spy Bot and AVG missed.

Thanks again,

Spybot and Adaware work good together. AVG just in case you had a real virus. Now, look into trying Firefox LOL
