Are you running any anti-virus software?

RATBOY 03-24-2004 01:43 PM

Adaware 6.0

I just had the same problem.
Run Ad-aware if you have it first. Gets rid of the spyware.
If that dont work, try the following (this is what Dell had me do)

Go to Start>Run>, type in 'msconfig', under the 'General' tab, look for 'Selective Startup', and uncheck 'Load Startup Items', then click OK.
That worked for me :thumbsup

Do you know what trojan/wirus it is???

Either that try system restore before you re-format your harddrive!

Actually, Search and Destroy is A LOT better of an Adware finder/remover. I have it and all my problems have gone bye bye! :thumbsup

Go to antivirus.com and do a free online scan. THen get SPYBOT and scan your whole system, and then get Adware and scan again. After this you should be fine

Vitasoy 03-24-2004 05:00 PM

Get a trojan scanner.
