its a browser hijacking bug ..

they come in thru active scripts in your internet settings .

ad aware may get it .. but you will probely have to start up in safe mode and edit the regestry to totally wipe it out .

if its a brand new bug you may have to wait a day or two for the av/spyware programs to update for it .

If you know when it started up, you can search for all files that were created that day as well. But take care, some of those files will be legitimate.
Just right click and check the properties of the file, particularly who it was created by.

you are infected.....

Identify the file(processes), it will be an active program that you won't be able to delete....

only way to do this is in SAFE MODE(deleting that fuggin active process)
