If it doesn't change on a restart I would say you have a Very large chance it is
a hijacker and it will continue till removed.You seem to know a little about computers
and how to interpret at least some things, so I am going to give same suggestions
that if you are not careful you can delete a lot of needed stuff and get in trouble,
but...
Try Hijack this, it is free on-line. Study what you are looking at and see what line
items are for. Like items that start with the '04' designation are startup programs.
Ignore anything that says 'file missing', unless you know for sure it is a deleted
program or something of that nature. You may find you trigger in there. If so note
where it resides and go after it. Also many AV and mal-ware vendors have an on-line
check for viral content and sometimes for specific hijackers. The one on you machine
can't fool the on-line check as their program does not reside on your machine. DO
that from safe mode with internet startup.
