have you visited the malware forum yet and gone through the cleanup process?

[SirNight33]

uhmm no but i restarted my pc in safemode before i posted this and ran spybot,ewido,ad-aware and avg but didnt detect anything

[gerryf]

all three, especially itunes and wmp, access the internet on startup...anything that might be stopping/hindering them?

Firewall like zonealarm maybe?

[SirNight33]

uhm i have keiro but it didnt come up with any rules to allow it or block it

[gerryf]

does this occur if you shut down kerio?

[SirNight33]

Yep, must be keiro i set to allow program now i got another question dont know if youll be able to answer it i took my geforce from my old pc and put it in my sony vaio its working fine but the guys from sony told me i cant put in a geforce card into my sony vaio from my old pc because it wont work do you know anything about that or did they just want me to buy from them?

[gerryf]

well, if it is working, I'd say they don't what they are talking about

I have run into different systems that will not accept a pci card, or an agp card, and then you cannot put it in.

Or a new nvidia pci-e card will not go in an older PC, but other than power issues, I don't see why not
