Audiworld Malware Solution.
My browser is (finally) healthy again.
For others, if you find unusual URL's being posted on Audiworld when you post a message, follow this procedure. It worked for me but, obviously, may not work for you if your problem is not exactly the same.
Go to c:\windows\downloaded program files\
Look for a file with unknown author and unknown creation date. On mine, there were two files, both suspicious, probably duplicates or near-relatives of one another. One was IE Explore 101 and one was 1010101-01. The "version" field of both showed up as 1010101... etc. so that is probably the easiest way to identify this problem.
Right click and remove these program files.
Then clear your cookies and clear your cache.
Then restart, get on the internet, and try to post.
I still have been unable to determine exactly where this problem came from.
Thanks to AWOT and individuals who emailed and helped diagnose this problem.
