Yeah, already mentioned the SpyBot, but you reminded me of AdAware.  I'll
have to download that one tonight.

No, there are no special toolbars loaded.  This happens with either browser
(IE & Mozilla).  Actually the pointer switching behavior occurs in all
applications, not just the browsers.  It's annoying all around, but it's
especially a killer when trying to type a URL.  I have to open notepad to
type the URL and then copy/paste that to the address window.
