A few days ago i noticed when i go to certain links ex: msn page, the address started showing the ? and numbers like this
http://www.msn.com/?vv=400. it goes to the correct page and It doesnt do it all the time, just occassionally. But at the same time when this occurs, i press the back button and in the dropdown menu it shows the word 'continue' in between the page i am on and the one i came from. (hope this makes sense.)
Does anyone have an explanation for this?
I have a firewall, antivirus, spyware and all that. have run them all.Even online scans. The spyware did find some application programs in my temp files and i deleted them. ez keylogger and midaddle. i rescanned, found a couple more and deleted them also. have done online scan also. not finding anything else, but the address bar thing is still going on.

Any ideas?

correct, continue does appear,part of script,
appears just to be code for logging on to msn,

may vary depending on residence/area,

thank you bofra for responding so quickly. This is the only place i ever come for help. You guys are always great.
The reason i asked about this was because i never noticed it before. And you never know with computers...And i have to tell you that my computer is definately clean. lol. I get really adament with this scanning stuff, and its so frustrating.
Thanks again.
