Hello

I get automatic updates so occasionally, my system seems to change behavoiur
without me knowing why

Having said that, I have also installed Windows Live in the last week.

Anyway, now c:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe keeps on calling out and
getting blocked by my firewall (Kerio)

It's becoming impossible to work with all these windows appearing every few
seconds at time.

Below, I have recorded three attemps which were blocked.

The second one worries me as the address seems strange
(custblock.intercage.com )

Any ideas please as to why this increased activity?

Thanks

Dave Neve

c:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe is legit, however if you see a
reference to it in msconfig /startup tab then you are infected.

Do a scan from safe mode with the following
