Spam on Bootup

Question

On most bootups, I get an Internet Explorer window with various ads, such as Cursor Mania or World's Largest Casino. I've run Spybot and Hijackthis, but I can't get rid of this. Any ideas? Here is my Hijackthis log: Logfile of HijackThis v1.97.7 Scan saved at 9:47:29 PM, on 1/4/04 Platform: Windows 98 SE (Win9x 4.10.2222A) MSIE: Internet Explorer v5.51 SP2 (5.51.4807.2300) Running processes: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\KERNEL32.DLL C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSGSRV32.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SPOOL32.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MPREXE.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\mmtask.tsk C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE C:\PROGRAM FILES\POPUP KILLER\POPUPKILLER.EXE C:\PROGRAM FILES\CACHEMAN\CACHEMAN.EXE C:\PROGRAM FILES\VCOM\SYSTEMSUITE\MXTASK.EXE C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\IEXPLORE.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\DDHELP.EXE C:\PROGRAM FILES\NETSCAPE\NETSCAPE 7\NETSCP.EXE C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL32.EXE C:\TEMPINSTALL\HIJACKTHIS.EXE R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = N1 - Netscape 4: user_pref('browser.startup.homepage', 'http://my.yahoo.com/'); (C:\Program Files\Netscape\Users\Scnrfrq\prefs.js) O2 - BHO: (no name) - {06849E9F-C8D7-4D59-B87D-784B7D6BE0B3} - C:\PROGRAM FILES\ADOBE\ACROBAT 5.0\READER\ACTIVEX\ACROIEHELPER.OCX O3 - Toolbar: @msdxmLC.dll,-1@1033,&Radio - {8E718888-423F-11D2-876E-00A0C9082467} - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSDXM.OCX O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [PopUpKiller] C:\PROGRAM FILES\POPUP KILLER\POPUPKILLER.EXE O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Cacheman] C:\PROGRAM FILES\CACHEMAN\Cacheman.exe O4 - Startup: NetTurbo.lnk = C:\Program Files\SharewareOnline.com, Inc\NetTurbo\NetTurbo.exe O4 - Startup: Temp Folder Delete.pif = C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\DELTREE.EXE O4 - Startup: SystemSuite.lnk = C:\PROGRAM FILES\VCOM\SYSTEMSUITE\MXTASK.EXE O4 - User Startup: NetTurbo.lnk = C:\Program Files\SharewareOnline.com, Inc\NetTurbo\NetTurbo.exe O4 - User Startup: Temp Folder Delete.pif = C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\DELTREE.EXE O4 - User Startup: SystemSuite.lnk = C:\PROGRAM FILES\VCOM\SYSTEMSUITE\MXTASK.EXE O9 - Extra button: Related (HKLM) O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Show &Related Links (HKLM) O9 - Extra button: Messenger (HKLM) O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Messenger (HKLM) O9 - Extra button: AIM (HKLM) O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Sun Java Console (HKLM) O9 - Extra button: Dell Home (HKCU) O12 - Plugin for .vdo: C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\plugins

The following looks very suspicious. I could not find anything on Google on it so it may be new. Have hijackthis fix it and see if solves the problem.
