Check your machine for parasites.
Run a full system virus scan with fully up-to-date defs. **It is very important to run the update for each program before running to be sure you have the latest definitions.** Run the programs in Safe Mode after assuring you have shut down all running tasks except explorer or systray and all apps are fully up to date. Download/run Cool Web Shredder from: http://www.intermute.com/products/cwshredder.html For Info on Cool Web Search variants: http://www.richardthelionhearted.com...hronicles.html Then download/install/run Ad-Aware SE to detect/rid of any other parasites/spyware that may be installed. It can be obtained free from: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ After installing Ad-Aware, open it and click on the ref update to get the latest up-to-date ref file, then run Ad-Aware and delete everything it finds. And/or download/install/run: Spybot - Search & Destroy: http://security.kolla.de/index.php?l...&page=download Run it at it's default settings until you learn an know more about it. Spybot S&D is more of an advanced users tool and changing from the default settings can be dangerous to the novice user. Items found in the default settings that are RED can usually be safely removed. If you are unsure of a found item, do not remove it and ask for help. If you still have problems, download/run HijackThis from: http://www.richardthelionhearted.com...downloads.html http://majorgeeks.com/downloads31.html Copy HJT to it's own folder, this is where the log files will be saved. Run HJT in Normal Mode. Do not remove anything with it until you get advice on what to remove, HJThis will list many apps that are needed along with the bad ones. Removing items listed hap-hazardly without knowing what they are can/will create a royal mess. Read the quick start here on how to create a log file that can be copied/pasted into a forum that can provide assistance on removal of unwanted pests. http://mjc1.com/mirror/hjt/#quick Then post the logs to an appropriate forum where they specialize in spyware/hijacker removal. Please read any sticky notes for proper posting which are most commonly posted first at the top in each specific forum. Read any information under each forum category name for information on what that particular one is used for, look for the proper one that you post logs to. http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ http://forum.aumha.org/ After running the above and assuring you have a clean machine: It's also a good idea to have a HOSTS file to block bad sites, scroll to HOSTS File Manager he http://www.mvps.org/PracticallyNerded/Software.htm Another good app is SpywareBlaster which stops the badboys before they even get a chance to install: http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html -- Brian A.
