I would suggest posting over in the Malware forums first: http://www.geekstogo...emoval-f37.html

Once you get a clean bill of health from them, post back here if you're still having problems.

He was asked to go there from a post in the XP forum. http://www.geekstogo...ed-t240822.html

He now has 2 topics going and has yet to go to the malware forum.

frattonpark Please go to the malware forum as requested. 2 different forums are suggesting possible malware infection. We can not look at/ help with that in any other forum. If clean, then you can return.

If there is an infection on your system (which your description seems to indicate), then it's fruitless to try and fix your problems (as the suspected malware won't let the fixes work).

Malware makes Windows work in non-standard ways - and all of our fixes are based on Windows functioning in a standard way (so the results are predictable).

In the worst case, working on an infected system can cause the malware to morph itself into a another form that's even more difficult to locate and remove.
