Check the list of search providers set in internet options (internet options>search settings) and remove anything weird.

download and run spybot search and destroy... also run ccleaner and delete any unnecessary programs that start up after windows loads.

IIRC Directcpv is known to use loudmo. Check if you can find it in the list of installed programs.
Did you install some software recently? Also, do you get this issue if you use firefox in safe mode?

Hi everyone!
I signed-in ONLY in order to give you THE solution ; I found it this evening after having searched a lot for a long time =(

First I downloaded AdRemover : http://pagesperso-orange.fr/NosTools/C_XX/AD-R.exe
It is in french but really easy to use if you follow my instructions ;-)

1/ When u open it for the first time, it will show u a message, u need to answer "oui" ; then it will disable Vista's "user account control" and restart your computer.
2/ U restart AdRemover (right-click and open it with Admin rights) and in the pink window you write letter L + Enter
3/ Your computer will be restarted again, and AdRemover will delete each "bad file", and at the end, you will see the repport.

After this, my computer is clean and I don't see any redirection to iamwired etc... And also no more dymanet ads popup...

Please, answer and tell me if it worked or not =)
Also write back if u need more details!

(sorry for my english...)
Julie

Check your host file and if you find anything suspicious reset it

To reset the hosts file back to the default, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, click Run, type %systemroot% \system32\drivers\etc, and then click OK.
   
   Note If you are using 64 bit version of Windows, type %systemroot% \SysWOW64\drivers\etc.
2. Rename the hosts file to hosts.bak.
3. Create the new default hosts file. To do this, follow these steps:
   1. Right-click an open space in the %WinDir%\system32\drivers\etc folder, point to New, click Text Document, type hosts, and then press ENTER.
   2. Click Yes to confirm that the file name extension will not be txt.
   3. Open the new created hosts file in a text editor, for example, in the Notepad.
   4. Copy the following text to the file:
      
      For Windows XP or Windows Server 2003# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
      #
      # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
      #
      # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
      # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
      # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
      # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
      # space.
      #
      # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
      # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
      #
      # For example:
      #
      # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
      # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
      
      127.0.0.1 localhost

      # localhost name resolution is handle within DNS itself.
      # 127.0.0.1 localhost
      # ::1 localhost
      
   5. Save and close the file.
