Sami,

I followed your instructions. The folders listed did not exist under c:\Program Files.

I deleted the contents of C:\Windows\Temp\

I deleted the Temporary Internet Files with Delete Offline Content checked under Control Panel, Internet Options.

System.ini did not have any reference to eztracks.

After a reboot I still have the same symptoms. I still get an advertising window most of the times Internet Explorer is launched. I also sill get hyperlinks on key words on pages I load.

Thanks for your efforts, I appreciate any help you can provide. Any more ideas?

Ron--
