You said, According to the host of applictions that I attacked my system with 
to clean it with, I have to assume it is  gone since they all say so.

I just knew it... a do-it-yourself job! :) That's the problem with knowing more 
than enough to be dangerous. What all did you use? I hope you didn't end up with 
some Rogue software in the process.

No, you shouldn't assume. It's very possible there are leftovers that need fixing. 
Many of these infections require special tools and various steps to clean them up. 
No doubt you know that, and it sounded like you ran the Vundo fix. Is that the infection 
you had/have? 

Did you use Hijack This? If not, I suggest you download the latest version, run a 
scan then post the log here. I'll check it out. If I don't see anything, it's off 
to a malware support forum, you go! 
Trend Micro HijackThis™

Create a new folder to move 'HJT' to. Don't save it on the desktop or in a temp folder. 
It creates backups of all items fixed, and they're automatically saved in the same 
location. Place it in your root dir or Program Files folder, whichever you choose. 
Example: C:\HJT\ or C:\HijackThis\, etc. 

Make sure All your apps under the Startup tab in MSCONFIG are checked to load at 
startup, or they won't show up in the log. Run HijackThis.exe. Choose "Do a system 
scan and save a logfile". Once the scan is finished, the log will automatically open 
in Notepad. Select All and copy/paste the entire log in a post. *Don't fix anything 
yet. 

*Important: Please put a check in this box before posting: "Check this box to 
preserve your spacing, or leave it unchecked to have your text wrapped automatically.."

P.S. I've read your latest reply also, and as I suspected no amount of repairing/reinstalling 
IE is going to resolve it... since it's not IE itself that's the problem. It's something 
attached to IE.
