| Joey I think you have gotten yourself, and your PC, into a whole new world of problems. I honestly believe that you have got some sort of virus or trojan on your PC which could be allowing a hacker (or hacker program) into your machine. The first thing you should do is uninstall LW, so that it cannot startup and give the hacker any access to your PC, I would also suggest that you run an online virus scanner to examine, find and delete any malware on your PC. There are sites like Symantec, Kaspersky Lab, McAfee, etc that do online scans, do a Google for the one you want to use. If you find the malware that's causing the problem then I would suggest that you get yourself the following: A proper firewall, e.g. Zone Alarm Some anti-spyware apps, e.g. Spybot, Adaware SE, AVG Anti-Spyware. Anti-secret installation, i.e. Prevx1 And in future make sure that your virus checker is updated regularly and have all the latest definitions and, above all, virus check every file you download before opening or running it. If all else fails you may have to reformat your hard drive and start again. UK Bob |
