Has anyone else been hit by that nasty little piece of hijack-ware that redirects Outlook to jraun.com (I'd link to it but I don't want to give the bastards the satisfaction)? It's really nice not being able to read my e-mail. Thanks jraun.com!

Update: I finally seem to have rid myself of this nasty little piece of spyware/adware. I tracked it down to a process called keyhost.exe. If you get HijackThis and run it you can disable the process. Then go delete c:windowssystem32keyhost.exe and c:windowssystem32keyhost.html. That seems to have done the trick

Of course I seem to still be infected by the Look2Me spyware. I haven't been able to find any solid info on how to disable this one yet.

I really have no idea where this stuff came from.  It's only on my laptop and I do very little actual downloading on this computer, and it's always freeware or shareware utilities like WinZip.  The only suspect utilities I've downloaded are ObjectDock and WikidPad, neither of which I suspect actually installed anything malicious.  Oh well, welcome to the new millenium.
