O_o look what happened when you quoted me!

I can see how it messed up in your quotes. I don't think it's a virus. It's most likely spyware. If you have Adaware and Spybot, run them both. But be sure to update the definitions in both before you run the scan in both programs. This should HOPEFULLY clear it up. :)

If you don't have either program (I use both to get a more thorough cleaning), they're both free @ download.com.

The address looked kinda spywareish to me, though...oh well. I tried :)
