Answer
Hi John,

I would suggest downloading Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.4 from:

http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10401314.html

Once installed, enable Tea Timer. Open the Spybot Search & Destroy, click the "+" sign next to Tools on the left side of the screen, click System Startup, then on the right side of the page check HK_CU Run  Spybot Tea Timer.

Hope this helps!

I can answer most questions regarding viruses/Trojans and help to remove them.

Experience

This happens to be of interest to me as it boggles my mind that people have nothing better to do than to write a virus. Wish these people, the ones who write viruses would put the knowledge to good use instead. My job as a local tech involves removing viruses and/or spyware.
