Someone downloaded me some crap

The 'crap' does the fallowing : when I got to sites and the page displays certain keywords such as "domain names", "mortgages", "loans" etc the system underlines these keywords and make them linkable to http://www.runsearch.com/top/go.php?qq=keyword

The site where the system makes the keywords linkable to changes all the time because their sites probably get shut down.

Where to look for a bug? Tried everything, can't find the file.
Reinstalled IE, doesn't help.
Good that my AOL browser works fine.

I'm mad :verymad:

Eww... you keep the AOL browser on your computer? Lol... to each his own I guess.

Did you try searching for adware using Ad-aware/SpyBot/some other prog or viruses using whatever antivirus program you have?

Scanned with Ad-aware it didn't notice the file.

You have to go to Microsoft support. I had this on my old computer and what it does is it rewrites your address not found file.

Good advice.
I'll got to Mic support, they should help.
It's not 404 configuration however.

Ok, I runned this free visrus scanned that Microsoft recommends and it found out 5 infected files, I cleaned them.
I recommend you guys to use it, it's free and doesn't requires installation.
