OP OP E eliz Beta member Messages 3 Apr 5, 2005 #5 Thanks for the very swift replies. Nah I'm running WINME not XP. I already used adware to scan my computer for crap and deleted some high-risk files. Things just did not get better.

Trotter Grandfather of Techist, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Staff member Messages 33,560 Location The South Apr 5, 2005 #6 Download Microsoft AntiSpyware. It's free, and you can download it from Microsoft's website. Go to MajorGeeks and check out pop=up blockers, or download and try Firefox.

SHAWN Field Engineer Messages 4,695 Location Long Island, NY Apr 5, 2005 #7 Along with downloading Microsoft Anti-Spyware, download SpySweeper. Granted its only a 30 day trial, At least you can scan with all the definitions and remove whatever it finds. Do that then report back to us
