damn spy/ad/annoyingware
In the meantime, instead of cooking, I will continue to try to get rid of all the pests on my computer.
I have PCCillan, Pest Control, SpyHunter, AdAware, and I'm still not getting everything - on bootup, some come back, and I suspect that perhaps the data files from the above software companies don't have all the tricks in them yet.
So, I am going through the registry, the system32 directory, all that really tedious stuff.

Oh, crap. Here I am, thinking AdAware gets rid of EVERYthing. :(

Did you try HijackThis? It should be able to take care of everything without you having to go into the registry. I left the link in your "sorry for lack of posting" post.

Holy cow! That much spyware in only a few days? I use SpyBot Search & Destroy. It seems to keep my system clean. Good luck cleaning up!
