Hi bearsoxe :)

This is often due to some form of adware, spyware, malware, etc. on your
system. You should first make sure your system is free of any such scumware
to be sure this is not the cause. Even if you have already run one or two of
the programs in the following information, or your Anti-Virus, you should
run them again according to the instructions in the information I have
provided to make sure it is totally clean. Some types of malware can
replicate itself repeatedly if not fully removed,

As you have used ewindo, I would recommend that you do the following, to
make sure that all the residuals of any scumware that may have been on your
system are fully removed. Some types of malware can replicate itself
repeatedly if not fully removed, menaing, it can keep coming back, even it
your program cleans it, or.....thinks it is cleaned. Following up with
HiJackThis is a very important step in insuring your system is free of all
scumware.

Download and install HiJackThis:

Please DO NOT post your log HiJackThis log to this newsgroup. It is
important that you go to one of the HiJackThis Support Forums below and
allow the experts there to analyze it for you.:

to allow the experts there to evaluate your log and advise you of any
necessary steps to clean your system.
(Note: You will have to Register before posting on these Forums. Please
follow all pre-posting instructions carefully to avoid having your log

Please post a link back here to the forum where you post your HJT log. We
will then be able to follow your progress there. The experts at both forums
are excellent, and they will help make sure that your system is fully
cleaned.

I will follow along there as well. If you need help, post back. :)

Hope this helps.

Click to expand...

It may be necessary for you to be logged on as the Administrator in order to
create a folder in the C:\ drive, otherwise, it could get deny you the right
to create it. So, be sure to log on as Administrator first. Then do the
following:

Go to Start>My Computer>double click on the (C:) drive selection in the
list on the right panel area.
Click File on the top toolbar>New>then Folder
A new folder will appear at the bottom of the list of folders in the right
panel and it will be highlighted, so just type in Hijackthis.

I'll post this there too in case a reader following there needs help with
this too. :)
