Between kids computers and their friends computers I'm about ready to start charging for my time when getting rid of these dang malware pests.

Tonight..dunno what I was doing, but went to change something and when I rebooted I opened a statsremote window (I'll be glad when it's not mandatory that it opens in IE). Click on something and up pops a window telling me about some car stuff, close it, click again.. new window about antivirus software... etc.

Ran Hijack this and also checked my Registry file and sure enough some pesky program. Before I went just deleting willynilly, I thought I'd give System Restore a try for once since it worked for my son's pc the last time I fixed a bug on it. Had a restore point just a couple of hours before.. All fixed...suspect registry key was gone.

Wish I could shoot the damn bastards.
