Stubborn Adware

Hello, I've got a problem with my IE that I'm hoping you can help me solve. Whenever I type in a url to webpage that I haven't visited previously, a second explorer window pops up with some sort of search page. Before the page completely loads I see the following url flash in the address bar: http://list2004.com/

I've run ad-aware 6.0 with the newest updates as well as multiple virus scans including Norton Professional 2004, but nothing seems to find wherever this thing is hiding. I'm running windows 98 and IE 6.0. Any suggestions? Thanks!

You may want to give spybot a try and see if it finds anything.

Spybot found it. Looks like it was a registry change. Thanks for the tip!
