I'm glad that Panda was able to rid you of any virus - you do realize that the Panda scan only notifies you of spyware, but does not remove it? At the top of the forum page is a link for various security apps -- Ad-aware & Spybot are recommended tools that will deal with many spyware problems. Not too sure what you're on about regarding the IP address though Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Ah a bit less worried by seeing your last reply. As an update ive installed stinger now as well (that found one virus but didnt say what it had done with it) And ive installed no adware which only found one adware from kazaa (deleting that in a mo as i only used kazaa a couple of times). About the IP address its better explained in the new post i made after id replied here. Basically when i hit submit on this page it takes me through to a confirmation page and there instead of seeing a normal IP address like i did the first time im now seeing a cashed webpage thing. I am just a bit worried (pooed my pants and disconected when i saw it lol) as my computer is now typing things on its own!? It is also opening up files like windowsmediaplayer and the file search. It types about a letter a minute mainly M,E,3,N and A. Now its either got another virus or my comps developing a mind of its own. #ive just added the N to that list as it typed that whilst writing this (im not kidding either# Thanks for all the help so far you guys im off to update my micro$oft file now # this is my IP Address on the confirm page webcacheb15a.cache.pol.co.uk it was 14 not 15 last time

That's very likely nothing to worry about, and is probably just how your ISP works. Plenty of copycats jumping on the anti-spyware train. 'No adware' was at one time a pretty dubious outfit - at any rate, you shouldn't confuse the names, a lot of them deliberately use names very similar to the (superior) Ad-aware & Spybot. Some pretty odd stuff you're reporting - likely a firewall wouldn't be a bad idea, but for sure you need to investigate Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

UPDATE on the nightmare lol Well im now using laptop (borrowed) as my comp wont connect to the internet. I updated 24 critical updates (atleast i know how to find updates now) and installed all but one something to do with the modem (it looked like its want asking me to change modem so i (yes you guessed it lol) said no. Any way my comp wont detect my modem now. Ive used the help thing and its something to do with the com port and bios but cant sort it until i connect it to the tinternet - that makes sense lol. # i may be wrong about that update as during the same day before downloading updates a program popped up and almost disapeared straight away trying to connect to something so disconnected straight away. The same thing happen once more and i did the same thing again so i think there is still one virus on that computer even though ive run avast home edtion twice in safe mode with no luck As for the random typing i think ive sust what was causing it. The new wireless mouse! I dont know how or why but when i plugged it into this comp random letter started appearing on this aswell. Thanks for the help again but hopefully i will have it all sorted soon as i may have found a simple solution a hammer and a new comp lol. Nah seriously im thinking about getting a newer comp but i still need to get some stuff off the old one so the hammer is not an option (gutted would have been fun for all the trouble recently). BTW i have norton firewall running all the time. Any virus on my comp i have accepted.
