Re: I think i've been Hijacked

i think that i have also been hijacked, but i can't tell by whom. when i use yahoo or google search engines, the first page of search results are not the actual search results, instead it is a list of links to other search engines where my search terms are avialable. my actual search results actually start on page 2. also, a little popup, with blank address, listing three more links to other search engines....
what is this and how do i get rid of it?
i have already ran adaware, spybot and norton -- no luck....

please help, i really dont want to reformat.
