One you remove you have to be sure to look for the source. It might be a link you are going to regularly. Think about new links around the time you first found EXEchecker. Removing doesn't prevent re-installing. Also Ad Aware by LavaSoft is another malware/anti virus that does an exceptional job blocking.

Txblond!!! Nice to see you again! Yellowrose and I were wondering where you'd wandered off to a few weeks ago.

As to your malware issue, God help you! This is one of those annoying ones. You've got to find it and eliminate it everywhere it lurks and it can lurk pretty much anywhere. There's a real good chance it hitchhiked in on some other software and is still hiding there waiting to launch itself all over again. It's a fixable issue, but it's not an easily fixed issue. Be persistent, follow the trail and eventually you should be able to run it to ground. There are lots of sites with precise step-by-step directions on how to get rid of it. Try one, if it works, great, if not, try something else. Lots and lots of people have the same issue, so you're not alone. Google is your friend, just don't believe anything that says it'll remove it in one click. This is one of those annoying buggers you have to root out file by file. Good luck!

Thank You. I corrected the links. I have not used LavaSoft for quite a while. I get the source of the problem by checking my firewall software. All these nasty little programs have to get to the web.
