Tony, that would be my next step.

Start,Run, type REGEDIT and press ok/enter.

Under the EDIT tab click on FIND

Type in the offending site and make sure there's a check in all 3 boxes. Don't check WHOLE STRING.

PLEASE...PLEASE...PLEASE be VERY careful. If you delete anything here you will not be able to recover. You are working without the safety net of backing up. Delete the offending garbage and press F3 after confirming Delete. Continue the process until you get Registry Search Complete. If you want you can run it again to be sure...but PLEASE be careful what you're deleting. If its not what you want or if there is any doubt...don't delete it otherwise you will need to reload the OS.

Let me know if I can help ya further.

I finally found a program that deletes and removes all malware/trojans.

It is called XoftSpy and it works great.

You may want to switch to Opera as a browser.

Two other spyware removal programs not mentioned here are CWShredder and Aboutbuster. CWShredeer will remove certain variants of CWS hijacker. About buster will do the same thing only it has a larger reference file. It sounds like the hijacker may have loaded a proces into your system that reloads itself every time you restart the computer (or maybe even before). Try www.merjin.org - this site has links to help forums that may be of assistance. If you get rid of this, I would download spywareblaster. This program prevents most of these hijackers from ever installing on your system and supports Internet Exlorer and Firefox browsers (it will not remove them once they have installed however.)

I downloaded the MS beta version and it works quite well. Even caught junk the other 3 programs I run did not.

The Virus whichever one it was.. ate up the INI files and now the Mrs. is busy reformating everything and reinstalling the windows system... she spent 4 days removing programs and information saved on the HD... now to see if she can get it back up to the XP Pro system it had??
