firestarters, sounds to me like you have a nasty that for self preservation, won't allow you to go there. Download and run A² (be sure to update prior to running) from:
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4...
That'll catch it if it's a Trojan (which I suspect).
Hopefully, that's all you'll need, but if you still have it after that, try an AV scan. There're several good free ones around. If you're unsure which to use, find a good one called Avast (same deal, be sure to update) @:
http://www.avast.com/avad1.htm
There're other good ones around. That one just happened to come up first on my list.
HTH.
