WTF? How/when did this happen?

I started up my comp and a window popped up. It was an add for instantaccess.com and it entered in the registry to run it's ad at startup. The ad program was installed in \Program Files\Instant Access.

Also, when I started IE, it immediately went to instantaccess.com.


I have a Windows 2000 machine running IE6. The security level is default. The only thing I remember doing in my previous session was playing Yahoo! Pool and I did nVidia's graphic system analyzer thing.

I manually deleted what I found and then ran Ad-Aware. It found a few cookies from DoubleClick and AdMonitor, but that was it.
