    Clearly appears to be malware:

    I did a scan awhile back and deleted the wrong registry key.
    You might be well advised to go back to previous restore point (if that is even possible in W2K - wasn't able to find any info related to that) if there is any chance that your mistake is responsible for your IE issues. Such are the perils of registry editing and why registry backups are highly recommended.

    Thank you, I will go ahead and delete smdat and do a new scan to post.
    I just get nervous deleting things without knowing for sure. It was a while ago when I deleted a couple of reg keys and had fixed my comp since then.
    Thank you!!!

    You Guys Are Great…
