Ok. So what happened was when I tried to play .wmv/.asf/.asx files in Windows Media Player it would cause Explorer (not my default browser) to open up to some gocybersearch.com page (something along those lines, not sure of exact URL). Ad-aware didn't find anything, but Spybot did. So i thought that would clear up the problem, but now, when i try to play any of the above mentioned formats, nothing happens. WMP doesn't open, Explorer wants to open (I can see it in my processes list) but it doesn't.

So..umm any ideas? Should I re-install WMP (how does one uninstall WMP in the first place)? Or what? I mean I can play these files in a different media player, but it's just a minor annoyance.
