Hi, My brother-in -law found my problem...Somehow a worm got in and inbeded itself into some files. These two virsus are called "rescycled/boot.com" and "MountPoint2". They worked together to make my disk "unavailable" for downloads and to redirect any searches I made on MSN or Google to other sites to sell you cars or just about anything else but what you were looking for in the first place. Search your drives and registry for these files to see if you have them. But I can't tell you how to get rid of them because my brother-in law cleaned up my PC for me.

most likely the use of HiJack This would enable one to find the offending culprits and then remove them (of course this takes some sort of knowledge of what should be on your machine so you don't delete the things you need)
