Pro with AdWatch also up to date. what can I do please???? this has been
going on for a week or more. I have used Registry Mechanic to clean my
registry, (up to date)

Hi digimom - if you're comfortable dealing with HijackThis and operating
with the Registry, then take a look here:
http://icrontic.com/forum/showthread.php?t=41935

Otherwise, start here:

Download HijackThis, free, here:
http://209.133.47.200/~merijn/files/HijackThis.exe (Always download a new
fresh copy of HijackThis [and CWShredder also] - It's UPDATED frequently.)
You may also get it here if that link is blocked:
http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloadge...8baee6434cfc13
or here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/file...hijackthis.zip

There's a good "How-to-Use" tutorial here:
http://computercops.biz/HijackThis.html

In Windows Explorer, click on Tools|Folder Options|View and check "Show
hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system
files". (You may want to restore these when you're all finished with
HijackThis.)

Place HijackThis.exe or unzip HijackThis.zip into its own dedicated folder
at the root level such as C:\HijackThis (NOT in a Temp folder or on your
Desktop), reboot to Safe mode, start HT (have ONLY HT running - IE MUST be
closed) then press Scan. Click on SaveLog when it's finished which will
create hijackthis.log. Now click the Config button, then Misc Tools and
click on Generate StartupList.log which will create Startuplist.txt.

Then go to one of the following forums:

Spyware and Hijackware Removal Support, here:
http://216.180.233.162/~swicom/forums/

or Net-Integration here:
http://www.net-integration.net/cgi-b...ST;f=27;t=6949

or Tom Coyote here: http://forums.tomcoyote.org/index.php?act=idx

or Jim Eshelman's site here: http://forum.aumha.org/

or Bleepingcomputer here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/

Register if necessary, then sign in and READ THE DIRECTIONS at the beginning
of the particular sites HiJackThis forum, then copy and paste both files
into a message asking for assistance, Someone will answer with detailed
instructions for the removal of your parasite(s). Be sure you include at
the beginning of your post "What problem(s) you're trying to solve" and
"What steps you've already taken."
