Left unsnipped for referrence. Chances are that you have a spyware/malware problem. Download AdAware personal edition from www.lavasoft.de Download Spybot from http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=download Download Stinger from http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/ Install and update the the first two. Disable system restore for the time being. Reboot to safe mode by pounding on the F8 key during boot until something interesting happens and from the supplied menu pick safe mode without networking. Scan and delete any entry found. Reboot into regular mode. Scan again. Turn system restore back on. Any luck? That's where I'd start at any rate. Prevent this in the future. Install a personal firewall (software is what you're probably looking for and there's a number of free ones available.) Having a firewall is not enough. You must set it to it's highest settings and then learn to allow the applications, and only the applications, to connect at only the correct times and through the correct ports with the correct protocols. It sounds difficult but it isn't really. It's best to go ahead and install one, use it in it's "rule" mode for a while, and then after a couple of weeks it should be configured exactly the way you like it and will run smoothly in the background keeping your computer nice and safe. However, improperly configured firewalls lull you into a false sense of security and security is a process that YOU do. Security is not an application. It is awareness, understanding, and being attentive for signs of inappropriate activity. Practice safe computing. Feel free to increase the level of security for your internet connection. Some good ideas would be to set the downloading of ActiveX to prompt for signed, enabling running of ActiveX, enabling script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting, and setting the other two to disable or at least to prompt. I'd consider setting the ability to access data across domains to prompt, I would definately set the drag/copy/paste files to prompt, the launching of programs in IFRAME should also be set to prompt, as well as the installation of desktop items. Finally there's the option to allow paste operations via script, I'd set that to prompt to. Sites which you like and have come to trust which have features that you feel you need can later be added to the trusted zone. When you first start to add sites to the trusted zone you'll want to make sure you check the properties and select that all sites in the zone do not need to have the "HTTPS" (be secure servers.) There are a number of tools that you can use to manage and configure the different zones, a search engine will help you on your way as I tend to avoid recommending specific products if I'm able to avoid it. That's a step that you can take if you'd like. I could probably go on and on about this but I will send it out so you don't wait too long for an answer. I should also probably cut and paste this so that I don't need to type it all over again but I guess getting an individual response is a good thing. Galen -- "My mind rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. I can dispense then with artificial stimulants. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation." -- Sherlock Holmes |
