try download.com for a firewall program to keep the garbage out

or hit up google for a firewall program

Sounds great AaronM. I will try and give you a call later today. Have to go for an eye appointment.

Wife says if I would quit surfing porn this malware would not be a problem... go figure.

I have a firewall on my router but apparently it is lacking. Thanks for the idea. Will go looking for one now.

And she's probably right too. lol

i would do this

taskmanager, then look for weird exes, do a google search to find out what they are to double check

then do a search on your computer to find those exes, leave the search open when it is done

go to start, run, regedit then hit control f at the top to search through your registry, search for that exe. find all the spots in your registry and remove them. go to your task manager and kill the app there, then remove it from when you searched

now empty your rec bin and reboot
