without me going into great detail for hours and hours, Here's a link:

I use Nod32 for an anti-virus. The free ones on that page are decent too.

Go to your Start button, go to Programs, expand that window and open the Startup menu. Take a look and see if there's anything there that doesn't belong. Or, you can hit Alt - Control - Delete and bring up your Task Manager and take a look to see if there's anything there that looks suspicious.

An anti-spywear program may be in order.

You may indeed have spyware...and if so, you can download what you need to clean your computer, from my website here:

My guess is, your browser settings are the problem.
For instance, I can't do spell check on TNet, if I have "Active Scripting" disabled.

If you are using Internet Explorer, at the top, click on Tools, Internet Options, Security, and reset to the Default level.

Let me know if this doesn't fix it.

Do you Use Mcafee ?

To Unblock go to SECURITY CENTER

Choose INTERNET & NETWORK

Choose CONFIGURE

Choose WEB BROWSING PROTECTION

Choose ADVANCED

Uncheck Block advertisements that appear on web pages when you Brouse the internet

Hit APPLY

hit OK

Apparently it Thinks The BANNER Is An AD

[jeff of pa]

Ouch.

Sounds Like you got a Bug in there somewhere.

I had that just before I got attacked by smitfraud & Webcry.

Hopefully Coincidence.

Bomber,

Download AVG, Adaware & Spybot from my webpage.
Install them and get their updates, then reboot into Safe Mode.
Run these three programs. They should remove most, if not all of your spyware & viri. They won't get everything though, unless you are in Safe Mode!

Remind Me

How do you go into safe Mode ?

 

[Timberwolf]

Tap the F8 key as your booting up. If you don't get the Boot Menu...try again.

Oh yeah, I forgot something...if you are running Windows ME or XP, turn off System Restore before you boot into Safe Mode. If you don't turn off System Restore, the Viri will return to haunt you

When you are done, you can turn System Restore back on.
