Disable the firewall to see if the problem still arises.

Also reset Internet Explorer's security zones back to default. Are you using Service Pack 2? Quote
Are you using Service Pack 2?



I really dont know.
You did not do all of what I suggested.

If you aren't sure wheter you have Service Pack 1, 2 or NONE do the following:

1. Right click on My Computer
2. Properties
3. General tab.Service Pack 2. Quote
Disable the firewall to see if the problem still arises.
 


Just tried it and it still doesnt work.What exactly did your scanners find and which ones have you used?I used:

AVG
Spybot Search and Destroy
Trend Micro
McAfee Virus Scanner
Adaware


I didnt find anything, except with Adaware, its just small thingsWhat do you call small things?

Try using Windows XP Anti spyware from Microsoft. It is also in the list.
