I have the feeling there is more to the story than you are telling. When did the
problem start, and what happened prior to it occurring? I assume you have checked for malware with the apps you mentioned, after first installing the latest updates for them (Ad-Aware, SpyBot, PC-Cillin)....did they find any malware? If so what was it, and how was it removed? -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.microsoft.com/communities...t/default.mspx "Moosetoo" wrote in message ...
