You've somehow managed to install a peice of rogue software that is itself spyware. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AntiVirus_Gold http://spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm Removal procedures here should help: http://www.pchell.com/support/smitfraud.shtml To find and/or deal with issues caused by any sort of "adware" and/or "spyware," such as Gator, Comet Cursors, Xupiter, Bonzai Buddy, or KaZaA, and their remnants, that you've deliberately (but without understanding the consequences) installed, two products that are quite effective (at finding and removing this type of scumware) are Ad-Aware SE from www.lavasoft.de and SpyBot Search & Destroy from www.safer-networking.org/. Both have free versions. It's even possible to use SpyBot Search & Destroy to "immunize" your system against most future intrusions. Additionally, manual removal instructions for the most common varieties of scumware are available here: PC Hell Spyware and Adware Removal Help http://www.pchell.com/support/spyware.shtml More information and assistance is available at these sites: Blocking Ads, Parasites, and Hijackers with a Hosts File http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm The Parasite Fight http://www.aumha.org/a/parasite.htm -- Bruce Chambers Help us help you: http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. ~Benjamin Franklin Many people would rather die than think; in fact, most do. ~Bertrand Russell The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has killed a great many philosophers. ~ Denis Diderot |
