this is the file/software that is doing this, it's obviouly the source:
http://red.clientapp.../search/ie.html
when i delete it, it comes back
also, my dektop is gone. if i right click and try to get properties, there is nothing. i get this:
file://C:\WINDOWS\Web\desktop.html
furthermore, at some point, i checked my network connection and there was another internet connection! i can't recall the name, i deleted it and it hasn't come back.
i ran hijack this and here is the list i got:
