What Operating System?
Most likely it is a Trojan.
I doubt that the Link you gave is the problem more likely the Trojan.
First thing I'd do is empty my Temp Folder and the Recycle Bin.
Now, run a complete Virus Scan.
Download / Install / Update / and Run:
.
And:
.

After doing the above please let us know how your Computer is running.

1. I have used Adware and i use spywareblaster

2.I have cleaned out the Temp folder too before posting the problem here.

3. I also did a clean install of Windows Xp professional.

4. I also did ran the command sfc / scannow

I use Windows XP Professional.

Do i need to use Spybot ? I have not tried that yet. I could try that as well ?

I have done so much of reading on this that i have a funny feeling taht this problem wont get solved. I wish one of you can do something to rectify it.

Please try your best. I'd be very grateful to you.

Click the link Brad posted above for Spybot...run it and clean everything it finds.

Then run HIJACKTHIS
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/HijackThis.exe

Create A PERMANENT FOLDER in MyDocuments,call it HJT,save the EXE in there.
Run HJT save the logfile to the HJT folder then copy the ENTIRE logfile, paste it here in you post.

Download and run LSPFix

Run HJT again and post a fresh HJT logfile.

I was wrong. Those are valid LSP's.
Check out this list:

Empty all your TEMP Folders (WinXp has up to 4 of them) / Temporary Internet Files Folder and then empty your "Recycle Bin" and reboot.

Post a fresh HiJackThis Log File.
