Hey, I've got some virus or adware that pops up every five minutes or so and then instantly closes itself before I can see what it is called. It seems to just alt+tab me from whatever I'm doing and then go away. It looks like a dos window with a c: prompt and thats about all i can get before its gone. It seems to go dormant after I run adaware twice, but even if leave the dsl unplugged it eventually starts doing it again. Any ideas?

thanks

Maybe get a screenshot of it and you'll be able to see what it's about.

Hello gestalt, when this happens do your DSL modem lights blink?
