Sounds like you have a virus. Click on the link below for more info. There are various fixes to try too
WARNING: Viruses on the network you should be aware of

You could also try this fix, it's worked for some people

If those fixes don't work, or you don't feel confident to try them, you can always go to Norbiesworld & get some free computer help.:wink:
If you go to the site, register & follow the directions for free computer help, Norbie will check things out for you.

Always make sure that you're using a good AV program. Keep it updated & scan all downloaded files before opening.

Are you using the free version of Ad-Aware? It's more for finding spyware & adware. Do you have an antivirus program??
Have a look through through the thread below, it has info about some free AVs (I use AVG's free version).

If you end up at Norbie's site for computer help, he also has a good section for downloading antivirus, antispyware etc.

I haven't used that fix...it's included simply because other people have had success with it.
Just go to Norbie's site, register & follow the directions for free computer help. He's in the UK so you probably won't get a reply straight away, but he's helped heaps of LW users with this problem.
