jadoon, could you have a Trojan? Be aware that a virus and a Trojan are similar, but not the same. Many times, an AV detects one it can't clean , other times, it gets missed entirely. You can see if you have one using Kaspersky’s scan @: http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner If you need to clean one, Kaspersky has one or A² can do the job and you can get it free @: http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software... among other places. FWIW, works with Vista. If it turns out that you need to use it, be sure to update prior to running. They just released a new update recently and it changes all the time. Things are in a constant state of flux. HTH. Ed in Texas.
