Every so often, when starting IE, I get two consecutive error messages as
follows: First I get,

"Microsoft Internet Explorer: Cannot find 'sleepyxxxx', make sure the
path or internet address is correct." (Note, there is an offensive word
where the xx's are).

I close that window then get another one that says,

"Microsoft Internet Explorer: Cannot find 'winterorgies.com', make sure
the path or internet address is correct."

I close that one, and everything works fine. It only happens every so
often, not every time. I've run my Norton Virus/Spyware scan, Spybot, and
AdAware, and the problem persists.

Anyone have any ideas as to how to get rid of this?

Thanks!

Don,

Thanks, I did all the steps to no avail, so I have posted a copy of the
HiJackThis log to the forum you recommended. Stay tuned!
