Thanks in advance to anybody who can help me.
The computer on which I am having a problem is a communal workstation at work. Somebody seems to have gotten some adware or something on friday while I was out and isn't here to give me details today so I don't have the complete story as to where they got it etc. What I do know is:
the computer runs on xp, the browser is internet explorer.
The main problem is a "search bar" that appears where the search, history, favorites bars appear on the left of the browser. The search bar can be closed but reappears whenever you follow a link on a page. It say "Related Searches" and then lists a bunch of casino sites. When I look at my history it shows up as being associated with the internet address: http://yupsearch.com/sb.php?qq=bed
It also might be related to the site:
