Mystery DNS Changes

I have a somewhat different strain.  Mine displays ads coming from
http://cdn2.adsdk.com, which is an alias for a1906.g.akamai.net .  There
are no registry changes that I can detect, and my DNSs remain unmolested
according to the ipconfig program.  I have looked (particularly in the
WINDOWS\Help directory) but I can find no rogue Hosts file, although
there must be one somewhere to do the google hijacking.

All of which is to say that I think my infection, although related to
the one described on McAfee and in previous posts to this thread, is
distinct from it.
