Good general info that is likely your problem is found in this frequent
post to the group...

The type of behavior you describe, which also often applies to
Taskmgr.exe and Regedit.exe, is typical behavior of more than one
virus/worm, the three below being the most common:

W32.Klez

W32.Yaha

W32.Spybot.Worm
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.spybot.worm.html


Because many of the newer viruses and worms, such as the
Spybot mentioned above, can disable antivirus applications whose
definitions aren't kept up-to-date, try using one or more of the free
on-line scanners to double-check your system.

Thanks Dev and Bruce I do have Norton Anti Virus on my computer, it is up to date but it did not show up any problems, but when I did a scan with Panda it picked up 4 viruses so it just goes to show that Norton is a waste of money, I will be buying Panda's Anti Virus after this
