If you dont have these three programs I would recommend that you get them. Spywareblaster,Spywareguard and IESPY AD. They will add 1000's of sites to your resticted zone and block some hijacks from happening. I also have a FREE FIREWALL and FREE ANTI VIRUS if you need one.
It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system.
Keep your system up to date and run Adaware & Spybot, once a week works, and hopefully you will be ok from here on. Both are available below.
Hello Badman
I had the same problem and just found a cure for it tonight.
Open windows explorer, and navigate to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc.
There you will find a file called "hosts"
Open this file using Notepad or any text editor.
Do a search in the file for "clickit" or "go2net"
Delete any lines with reference to it.
Close notepad remembering to save!
That's it….. worked for me, I have been working on this for a couple of weeks, and actually have an open post on this forum but no one has replied….. guess I can close it now.
Thanks for the post and suggestions etc. Do read the forum rules about posting.

Badman,
Glad I could help, I know it had me going for a while too!
LDTate,
Sorry for the improper post, I will look at the link regarding becoming a helper.
Again, apologies……
