Su su - Your system is infected with the Elite Toolbar garbage. It can
be very hard to remove. Since you obviously aren't familiar with
working in the Registry, it would be safer for you to get some help
with removing the malware. Get and run HijackThis and then post your
log to *one* of the following forums (not here, please). Make sure you
read their posting FAQ first. You will get the expert help you need
there.
