My computer is checking the Internet "I think" about every 30 minutes. I have a box appearing in my taskbar for a split second about every 30 minutes. This started happening about 2 weeks ago. It happens so fast I am not able to click the box to have it open to show me what it is. There is no info on the box/tab. AVG, Spyhunter and Malwarebytes detects nothing. I can post my hijackthis log in the hope that somebody can help me figure out what is going on. Thanks. edited by moderator: HJT Log deleted

Please download ComboFix to the desktop from one of the following links: Link1 Link 2 Link 3 Combofix is a powerful tool so follow the instructions exactly or you could damage your computer. Very Important! Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before performing a scan. They can interfere with Combofix and remove some of its embedded files which may cause "unpredictable results". Click on This Link to see a list of programs that should be disabled. The list is not all inclusive. If yours is not listed and you don't know how to disable it, please ask. In your case to run Combofix do the following: 1. Go offline turn off your AVG antivirus, and any antispyware that you may have. 2. Run Combofix and save its log. 3. Restart the computer to get the antivirus running again but leave the antispyware programs off until we get the computer cleaned. 4. Post the Combofix log. Remember to re-enable the protection again afterwards before connecting to the Internet. Double-click combofix.exe Follow the prompts. (Don't click on the window while the program is running or move the mouse, it will cause your system to hang.) Please post the log it produces.

I am having trouble posting a reply with the combo fix log. I get a not connected error that brings me to this url http://www.computing.net/cgi-bin/ww...

I have tried cutting the log in 1/2 but still am not able to post. I get a not connected error with the same url as above..

I'm going to try and post a new topic with my combofix log and see what happens.
