You appear to have the FFA virus. Anyone who criticises the infallibility of FFA is prone to this kind of attack on their PC ;D ;D Try running a Panda scan found here www.pandasecurity.com/homeusers/solutions/activescan/ You will need to use Internet Explorer to do this. Any infected folders that it identifies you should make a copy of the exact file and folder name etc. You need to download a shredder if you don't already have one and then move the infected files and folders to the shredder. After that run a full scan using your anti virus. If you haven't already got them on your PC, download Lavasoft Ad-Aware and also Spybot Search and Destroy and do scans using these. I hope to god you haven't got Norton or McAfee as your anti-virus as they are useless at dealing with this kind of thing. |

had similar problems and on advice from this forum downloaded
Avira FREE antivirus from "freedownloads.com"
when i first ran it, it took a couple of hours to run and then frightened me to death by displaying a message that parts of windows had been "un-installed" however I just re-booted the computer and HEY PRESTO ! my machine has run like a dream ever since with Avira running from the system tray and providing pop-up's to remind me to update every 3 days whilst warning of any attempts from trojans etc. to invade my pc
EXCELLENT
Another one is Ad-Aware from the Lavasoft site (just google Lavasoft)
Good Luck
