There is a dialog box that i constantly popping up on my screen. Here is a picture:

When I hit yes it would install spyware on my system and I would have to spend an hour cleaning it up. I added an entry into HOSTS to stop this from happening "85.255.113.214 127.0.0.1" so that now if I hit yes nothing happens. However, I would like to stop the box from appearing at all. Thanks!

Please go to the malware forum and follow the instructions at the top....Especially the CLICK HERE .

That will give you several steps that will help you clean up 70 percent of all problems by yourself. If at the end of the process you are still having difficulty--and you may not be-- then post a hijackthis log in THAT forum.

If you are still having problems after getting a clean bill of health from the malware expert, please return to this thread.
