Are you sure it's not Spyware?

Hi ryanmpsb..
its a third party app that just wont let go!
Have you recently installed Netcaptor?..

Anyways its a browser hijack.

There's a great little program called hijackthis.exe that will show you third party apps running. I can't remember the actual file but happened to me and after studying the file list I was able to remove it. Be very careful as most of the third party stuff (like Google Toolbar) is legit.

Hope this helps..
