In short, look here:

I found that bargains.exe file hidden away.
How do I get into safe mode, do I hold F7 in the BIOS?
Talk about a shot in the dark... There might be a lot of bargain buddy infections around, but sheesh, just out of the blue? Or did I miss something?
Seeing as you had a bargain buddy infection, you really need to install, update, and run spybot and adaware... Bargain buddy is a really good sign that someone has been hitting the freeware junk pretty hard, and there is likely a good amount of spyware on there.
