    Try disabling messenger service. This article should be able to help. For more information this Google search should help.

    Did you check the startup folders? Maybe there's a link in there.

    I'd check the Run folder in the registry to see if it is listed there.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

    I already check startup folder, but found nothing. And I was wondering, There is no Currentversion\Run below Microsoft in registry as whatthe said.

    There should be windows between Microsoft and currentversion.

    The correct key is:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

    You may also need to check:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

    *Note: The run key doesn't have to exist in current_user but if it exists check it.

    I think that it might be in your Windows "Hosts" file/folder

    You did not state your operating system so I cannot give you precise instructions

    Use Windows Explorer to find your hosts file/folder and open it in a programmer's text editor like notepad or wordpad.

    Delete the references to the malware.

    MAKE A BACKUP FIRST

    Please do not take this as a criticism, but it would help us to help you if you stated operating system & browser type/version for software and the physical specifications for hardware. Yes you have posted before and you have a profile, but I am sure that you have all sorts of friends and relatives asking for help so we don't know what machine you are working on

    Cheers
