Every time I visit here I get a browser take over the next time I connect. It adds some pretty digusting stuff to our favorites list and I'm not sure what else it may be trying to do. Ad-Aware will remove it but, it comes back. Here's what Ad-Aware says about it.

Vendor:Possible Browser Hijack attempt
Category:Malware
Object Type:RegData
Size:-
Location:Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main "Start Page" ("res://mshp.dll/index.html#37049")
Last Activity:3-27-2004
Risk LevelMedium
Comment:Possible browser hijack attempt
Description:Possible attempt to control\redirect the browser. This object referrs to a "blacklisted" site.

Anybody else get this? Any suggestions?
