Thanks Doc - I do have a scanner. I remain suspicious of Watch.exe though as I've had the scanner for years and not used it for a month or so yet the exe is dated October 2003...

The problem I'm getting is something hijacking my browser and bring up a search page which auto-opens a page I can't close. Ad-aware found and deleted a load of links containing searchxl.com, and having done a bit more googling I'm inclined to follow the advice given here by Computercops.biz

Then I shall see if I still have the problem - ad-aware gets rid of it during a session, but I need it to stop re-installing itself on restart (and my poor slow computer needs a restart fairly often (but that's another problem)).
