Because I spent a great deal of time finding a way to get rid of the StartPage.m virus/trogan on my Windows XP system I thought it might be worthwhile posting the solution here in case anyone else comes by as I did earlier.
It turns out that the free Microsoft AntiSpy Beta program (http://www.microsoft.com/athome/sec...re/default.mspx) will find and remove it if you set the options to "Deepscan Folders." I had tried two different virus programs and three Spy Ware programs before trying it (and it was already on my computer, but I hadn't set the deepscan option before).
I had my system restore option turned off when I used it but I'm not sure that was necessary. Also, I ran my virus scan immediately afterward, then rebooted. It's a day later and I've had no further problems.
