A file called dxc.exe (located at d:\program files\deluxe communications\) atomatically loads and prevents me to search with firerox. I removed it from the msconfig several times and it's again there. spybot and adaware do not find it as spyware. I am using XP prof. I removed all the files with such name from 98. It came back once I started firefox. How the remove it?

type MSCONFIG in the run box, maybe you can find a solution there...

Do a system scan with a good Antivirus!

download FixDXC.reg fix/tool from *download.bleepingcomputer.com/reg/FixDXC.reg

generally to remove this or any file u can use the tool 'delete doctor' from www.diskcleaners.com Lock the file with this utility -it gets deleted during boot-up. 'unlocker' is another such good utility.
also clear up ur pc junk with ccleaner from www.ccleaner.com if posbl.
if problem stl persists, post ur hijackthis logfile here.
