I have already run the Panda Scan as you suggested and this is what it said:
Potentially unwanted tool - application\HideWindow.A Location: C:\hp\bin\fondleWindow.exe
Potentially unwanted tool\Application\KillApp.B Location: C:\hp\bin\KillIt.exe
Spyware: Spyware/on Web Media Location: C:\program files\TrendMicro\Internet Security\VSS9UG05.00k
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My System is Windows XP Home Edition, SP2 Trend Micro is the fire wall and security as well as SpyWare Sweeper, Spybot Search & Destroy and Spyware Doctor; as well as a few other miscellaneous spyware products that are stand alones, and are only activated, when I choose and are shut down right after, so there are no problems between software.
Windows Update is on and up to date
No Trouble connecting to the internet, but IE has been giving me a few blank pages in the last couple of days and I have been suddenly getting a few pop up ads too (Coincidence?? ~ who knows)
I have run Clean up ~ it cleaned up a fair bit
I have run Ad-aware SE ~no problems there
I have run Spybot S & D ~ no problems there either.
I have the all of my security software to update automatically
When I got up this morning Spyware Sweeper had found and quarateened : iehelper (which has to do with ads), so I deleted that. Here is my HJT Report for your purusement, I hope to hear from you in a couple of days !! Thanks for helping

Oh Yeah, My SpySweeper is due to expire soon and since I can't afford it at this time, I will be letting it go it will expire at the end of September I think.
