hi rainbow, lets try this to see if you have any trojans. hit your start button and go to Run in your Win xp box. hit Run, and then type in the word "command" (without quotes), a box will open up and where you see the cursor flashing, type in "netstat -an"(without quotes). you will then see it open up with the title of active connections with 4 columns: proto, local address, remote address(foreign address), state. if there is anything in the remote address column, then you should make note of the address and port in the remote address section, if it corresponds to the remote address section and says established in the state column, you may have some trojans. next go to www.thepublicworks.com, security section, and link to Tantalo Ports, put the port number you noted down and click on search. it should tell you if you have a trojan, and where to find info on it. if you are trojaned, get the latest anti-virus, anti-trojan, spybot, and adaware definitions. next: disable your system restore, this will flush out your restore folder of all virii, and other malware. then.... go to safe mode, and scan your machine with the scanners, make note of and delete all files they come up with. next: delete everything in your cookie folder, recent folder, .tmp files in your temp folder, and everything in your temporary internet folder, and also clean your recycle bin. reboot your computer into normal mode and do a search for those files and delete them. also check your task or process list by clicking control alt delete and end task on any file you find that are in the list you noted. re enable your system restore. all the best, murve
