do you have the norton disks?

Also, if I do have some sort of spyware or trojan on my system, this solution will not address this problem, or...?

Thanks.
This is how I got rid of a pesky trojan and memory resident bug. Have you checked your services for strange services running? that is where they may show up if so.

If you want, run a hijack this log and send it over and we can review it for spurious services that should not be running.

If you don't have a norton disc, PM me. I have about 15 sitting around.
