J Jon Kennedy Aug 27, 2004 #2 Don't know what you've tried so far, Franck, so here goes my usual spiel... This may be caused by spyware/malware that's gotten installed on your system. Use Ad-Aware and/or Spybot Search & Destroy to remove it. Ad-Aware: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ Spybot: http://security.kolla.de/ Good sites on how to install and use Spybot - http://www.net-integration.net/reviews/spybot1.html http://tomcoyote.com/SPYBOT/index1.php More information here: http://www.spywareinfo.com/ http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/Darnit.htm http://www.doxdesk.com/parasite/ - runs a little script when loading page to check for common parasites If all the above fails, then the problem could be something new that the spyware cleaners above don't have in their databases yet. In that case.... HijackThis direct download: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/hijackthis.zip Tutorial on how to use HijackThis: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/htlogtutorial.html Then post it's output log to the forum here for analysis and feedback by the parasite experts: http://www.spywareinfo.com/forums/ Or the other HijackThis Logs forums listed here: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/forums.html Or try this program to get some of the most nasty malware: CWShredder direct download: http://aumha.org/downloads/cwshredder.zip An alternate resource for all of this and more: http://www.aumha.org/secure.htm
