Yes, I used Norton as the boot disk as well. Sorry I forgot to mention that. No virus was found. I also ran the software after Windows loaded. Still found nothing either way.

Okay, then it's not a virus. It's malware/spyware. Sounds like it is running with a vengeance, too.

Above someone mentioned Ad-Aware. Download it and use it. It's free. Or you could pay for the professional version.

Would removing than reinstalling IE help---esp. if the spyware is in the IE file folder?

I had a problem like that---and it worked for me.

I have a cable modem---and use the Norton Firewall.

No problem since...
