There is some kind of program that is on one of my
workstations that keeps automatically running about every
30 minutes. It starts internet explorer and connects to an
x-rated website and adds a bunch of websites to the
favorites menu. I've been through everything I know to get
rid of this problem and can't seem to find where this is
originating from. Someone please help if possible.

Thanks,
Mutt
