Something has taken over my machine

I'm having a problem that I can not figure out. I went to mp3-network to sign up for file share and have a big problem. Something is installed on the machine and I can't figure out what it is. When I try to clear out my Tempory I files it clears than if you open up the IE6 browser again the cookies are there again. Also I'm finding different words are highlightet everywhere I go even on this site. I searched for virus and trojans and found nothing.

If I try to write e-mails through SBC I can't type any text. This all happened after I signed up for mp3- file sharing. the only thing is I didn't have to download any software of any kind and I haven't even searched for any yet either. When I figure out this problem I will not be using them that is for sure. I tried to go to adware to download spyware software and can not go there either.

What did I get myself into.

Are you using a firewall program? They can track programs that are accessing the web without your knowledge.

WHat operating system are you using, if it is XP or ME you can use system restore to go back to before you install the MP3 program, that is if you haven't waited to long.

All set did spyware check again found gator part of grokster program and some others was still lurking around. Also used a regcleaner and know everything seems to be working fine for now. Hope I did delete something important. Never again will I load that crap on my machine.
