Glad you got it fixed
As nasty as some spyware is getting these days with Browser Hijacks and stuff you should consider yourself lucky =)
While we're on the subject of spyware though, I'd definately recommend reading the rest of that thread I posted about using the immunize function in spybot and stuff. Another good choice is "Spywareblaster." Its another "anti-spyware" program if you will (prevents it from every being installed).
