Hey, guess what I got today?
GRRRRR.
Am in process of removing it, yes. And trying to figure out (A) how it happened (this never happened with my old machine) and (B) how to keep it from happening again.

You might also like to set it to do a one-time scan the next time you boot, so it's in memory before anything else gets loaded.
Then, go to the Immunisation page, and immunise yourself, and block other bad downloads. After that, run a scan whenever the mood strikes you.
This advice applies to EVERYONE with a Windows PC. Seriously guys, don't be a victim.

Still, Spybot is worth having as a general-purpose solution.

I've already downloaded AdAware and spybot was going to be my next dl.

Aside from that, I had an Alexa registry entry (not surprising, since that's part of the "show related links" in IE6) and evidence of browser highjacking attempts (most likely from the X/OE). So really all I'm left wondering is what left me so vulnerable yesterday.

I use Mozilla and it weirdly didn't work with it, but I do have Spybot Search and Destroy and during my last scan, it showed up on my list. i was wondering what it was.
Try the Spybot.

One of my life's dreams is to kidnap you for a DMB show one day and make you actually enjoy it (chemicals might be needed)

Yeah, I would happily torture their programmers with dull scissors if I had the chance.
