Hello, is there anyone out there who can solve this problem for me?
What is perfectnav.com, why does it appear on my computer when I try to
access certain websites, and how can I get rid of it? Thanks very much.

You've got spyware, adware, a trojan, a search engine hijacker, or a home
page hijacker.

Run these tools weekly

Run these programs to check for spyware/malware. After installing
update them, then boot into safe mode and run them. You should update
and run them weekly.

Make sure you have a firewall active at all times. If nothing else use
the one built into XP, but there are a variety of free third party ones
that do a better job from Sygate, Zone Alarm or Kerio.
