Try and search for the correct group within the web interface in which you
are posting.
You have posted to XP General - you need a Vista group or similar deals with
WLM.
There must be one in the discussion group.

================

You have a worm infection that comes from opening links that appear to be
from friends in MSN Messenger. It also comes from sharing infected USB pen
drive devices.

Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log
to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware with
assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

analysis, not here.**

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.
