Scan for viruses and trojans. I donot know what Windows Washer is (never heard of) but the rest are NOT virus scanners. Properly configure them as well.

Also download the latest (security) updates from Microsoft.

    Janet.....Now now dont be so hard on your computer....it sounds very much like you have a hijacker...it's not too malicous ..just *censored* annoying.
    As Robertmillar suggests .......D/l and run CW Shredder...
    I dont think it will remove it but it will contain it. To remove it I think you will have to D/l hijackthis......

    I suggest you go to the following sites and they explain how to read the log that hijack this will create and explains what to remove.
    http://computercops.biz/HijackThis.html
    http://computercops.biz/CLSID.html
    http://computercops.biz/StartupList.html
    Please look at the computercops pages and then the hijack this will make more sense.

    let us know how you make out

    If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.
