sorry about the editing thing...just saw that..the kapersky scan did find a few things..dont know if they are related to the ie programs.

I have noticed another problem...someone else posted about the same problem recently..in firefox..about half my google searches, when I click on the result, redirects me to an advertising site, not the site a clicked on. it has happened in ie, but it happens a lot more in ff, which sux cuz firefox is my only useable browser right now. I have ff 3 and updated to ie 8 from 7 last night. (hoping it may fix things but no luck)

I also noticed in ff when I go to some sites it hangs forever while loading site site and down in the status bar it always says "transferring data from 74.55.39.45" no matter what site I go to. It never ends up loading.

I got the new windows malicious software removal tool during an update this morning and it said it removed Trojan:Win32/Alureon!inf. I looked up the info on it and one of the things it says it does is messes w/ your DNS settings. I tried ipconfig /flushdns in command prompt but it didn't seem to do anything.

so here is the log from the kapersky scan you requested:

thanks for all you people do!
