Virus?

Thanks for your suggestion. I've done adaware/spyware. It clears it and
then when I go back online it pops up once again.

locate the original source. If I go to properties on the short cut it says
its located in the Windows video viewer folder. I deleted the folder,
uninstalled the program via install/ unintall it appears to be gone.. When
I'm online after a short time again it pops up a website and tries to access
my modem.

I'm at a loss as to where to look further. Any suggestions are appreciated.


Looks like your PC needs a serious adware/spyware cleanup. Try
installing a tool called ADAWARE and run the search on your workstation.
Good luck!

What is the name of the site it is trying to access? Does the folder get
recreated by itself?

It's an illicit website and it creates the folder and shortcuts on its own.
It send a pop up of a website to the window and a smaller box asking for you
to allow it to dial in through your modem. Of course whether or not you
click "ok" or attempt to "x" it, it continues to boot me offline. There must
be soemthing planted someplace to trigger the site.

If it's not too much to ask, what is the website's URL?

Are you using AdAwareSE with the latest updates?
Are you using Win98?
If so, reboot into Safe Mode and run AdAware there.
Also run SpyBot in Safe Mode.
Still no luck, post back.
