Thanks, for all the help so far, but alas my problem is not fixed. I'm missing MSVBVM60.dll, so I can't run Hijack this. If you know of a reliable site that I can download a copy from, please post a link. The problem with this toolbar is that it doesn't show up in the processes list (In Windows 98, ctrl+alt+del doesn't bring up a complete list), and every time I turn on the internet, it trys to download all the malware again (reconfigured the firewall, so it catches most of it now at least). On the upside, I found another piece of the junk ("Abetterinternet.exe"), so as I write this list of junk, hopefully I'll eventually find the master program and nab it.
The using a different browser option actually sounds nice, but like I said, I'm really not good around computers, and I wouldn't know how to do that either or what would happen (like, does Norton AV configured for IE need to be redone?, etc...)
And trust me, the "Don't click that flashing prize window"...my little brother is never going to hear the end of this. (what type of seventh-grader goes to rumandmonkey.com anyways?).
All said, I wish I could buy a G5. or maybe install RedHat...not while the parents buy the computers though.

Thanks for all the help, keep it up! Michael Greenley, Team 341

P.S. The parent site for that is a scam that tries to download more malware from what I've gathered from reading other forums from google (which operates at my level of computer know-how)
P.P.S. something new (and not good) that started happening is that text is parsed into "Sponsored Links"...great. Like I didn't need this type of stress before the season starts (approx. 129 days until robot ship date and counting).
