I found this group several months ago, with the same problem. I did the recommended procedures, and it helped the problem. (Kudos to the Geeks)

Now I'm having the same problem, only this time, it won't go away. Since my first problem, I have kept the free versions of Spybot S&D, Ad-Aware and AVG. I have diligently updated them as well.

I have just finished going through the whole routine again, including CWShredder, Ewido, TrojanHunter, Windows Update, and a Hijack This scan. The scan follows. Thanks for this service.

You have several programs running that would check for updates by default.

Which program or process is trying to connect to the internet that is making you fear something bad is going on?

Sorry for responding so late guys, but whatever it was that I was fearing, finally shut me down.

I have just finished reformatting Win XP pro, and although I did have backups, it's going to take a while to load all of the updates, with this dial-up connection.

I'll run all of the Malware utilities soon as I get updated, and let you know how things are going.

So far, with about 1 hours time online, I've received numerous error notifications, from messenger service. Don't know what to think about that, but I guess I"ll find out. Most of the errors; say to shutdown and run a registry cleaner.

That will have to wait, unless somebody tells me to do something else, I am going to try to get back up to speed..

By the way, I've not expressed myself very well, and I know you guys don't have ESP, but you will have to bear with me. I'm computer challenged, as well as thick headed. Just try to steer me in the right direction, and I may finally make it there.

Thanks Metallica, see you after updating, and running the malware utilities.

Mike

That's OK. I like the thickheaded ones.

It keeps things inside once you get through.
