Hi everyone, hope i can get some answers here about a
little problem that i have.

ever since i did my first windows update about 3 days
ago, there is a dialogue box that appears, requesting to
connect to a webpage "fakes.anyforce.info". is a spyware
program behind this? coz i have scanned it for spywares,
but what i got is just Alexa & the cookies. anyone knows
what is going on? hope to hear a reply soon. thanks alot.

Go to: http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm
Download "Hijack This!" [freeware]

Unzip, double-click "HijackThis.exe" and Press "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log"
button.
Click: "Save Log" (generates: "hijackthis.log")

Next, go to the below location:
http://forums.spywareinfo.com/

Sign in, go to the "Malware Removal" section.
Press "New Topic" and post a description of your symptoms. If they need to
see your log they will ask for it.
