Hello, surfing the web I went to a "Warez" site to download "Hannibal". Was not able to download...now when I hit search button on toolbar on laptop, instead of MSN search function comeing up the "Warez" site comes up in its place...if I do not close it out immediately it fills the sreen with pop up ads. I've gone to add/delete and deleted it, I've deleted it from cookies, I've deleted it from internet files and folders, and it just keeps coming back like a virus! Anyone can walk me thru this? Thanks, Fritzers.

Sounds like you got hit with some "viral marketing". You might check out and see if anything there would be helpful. Or, you might try updating your web browser (update to IE6, if it's not there already).
