I write in an away message in AIM and it gets overwritten with a link. Then there come multiple popups talking about the link.
The following is my hijackthis output (Adware and spybot come up clean)...

Put hijackthis.exe into a folder before doing this!

Run HJT again and put a check against these:

Close all browser windows and applications before clicking "fix checked".

Go here http://forums.techguy.org/t110854/s.html and run at least 2 of the on-line virus scanners.

Go to Microsoft windows update and make sure you have all the critical patches for your OS and IE.

Then post another log.
