Start by running a CWshredder.exe scan. Just OPEN it, and close all other windows including Internet Explorer. Then run it. When done reboot system. Then download AD-Aware_v6 and after installing and updating its reference files, run a custom full scan, select to run all tests it will let you. Remove everything it finds. There is a lot of things the Virus removal program does not remove, like Spyware_AD-ware.

Then work through all the items in Windows ME Fixes to clean the system up more. Start with removing any junk applications you know you don't need or want (like KaZaA and other download p2p applications and "Internet Accelerators"). Some where along the line, things should get better and you might find what is causing these programs to start at startup.
