You need to have someone help you on a forum like bleepingcomputer.com because it's a rootkit and it has infected system files. Rootkits are pretty much invisible even to advanced security programs like Malwarebytes AntiMalware or HiJackThis - let alone anything built into Windows. They will walk you through steps to remove it but it will involve scanning with 3-4 different programs and posting logs after each step. It's a pain but its your only choice once you get one. If you use firefox the adblock plus extension can stop those hijacks from appearing even if you are infected but you don't want to run like that very long.

I noticed you have a few baseball games on Saturn. If you never played them, World Series Baseball II and 98 are both worthy additions if you come across them. I haven't found any CIB's offline yet unfortunately.

I don't buy often its a slow build but there are many reasons why I hold on to what I have from nostalgia to regret (after selling or getting rid of things like my Game Gear collection for $25). Just for example, one of my first computers was a Coleco ADAM. The printer quit printing and was eventually thrown away. One day I went to fire it up and found that was no longer possible because the power supply was housed inside the printer. Oops. Most of my lessons are learned the hard way.

I liked it better when competing consoles had competing games. This exclusive business is just weak and kills lots of opportunity for gamers and developers that could otherwise try getting their foot in the door in a "recovering" economy. In other words I don't have 360 :p
