Both Symantec and F-Secure let you do an online scan, do that.
Also download hijackthis and run it.
Other good software is adaware and spybot.

Thank you!

I do have about 4 or 5 svchost.exe's running, but I read where that is normal?

I have Norton, and ran a scan, but no help there.

I will try F-Secure and hihackthis.

There are so many blogs on this it's mind blowing. I hope one of those works.... Thanks again!
