Krisco (interesting screenname), anyway download this:

HijackThis

It's a zip file, then unzip it to your desktop (or wherever you like) so you can then click on the extracted file and run HijackThis.

HijackThis will enable you to remove any instructions put in your computer (in the registry etc) to redirect to certain pages, browser hijackers etc. You can also damage your system using it if you click remove on something that SHOULDN'T be removed because it's a part of Windows, say.

HijackThis is an advanced tool. There is a tutorial on how to use it at link, but if you're at all unsure or it looks complex then feel free to just click the Save Log button and post the contents and I'll take a look at it and tell you what's safe to remove.

It WILL be able to deal with the residual traces of any trojans/hijackers you have there.

Hope that helps!
