    get search and destroy. thats another one that may help.

    did you update either lately?

    also might wanna try ewido, search for it. it is a 30-day trial, but it detects all and erases all.

    Seems like a virus, even if you have Anti-Virus programs.

    Merged Post:


    For AV, you should try Avast, and AVG. they are free. search it on google.

    and yes, it is a name of a software, what else would it be?

    Well here's a tip... Get rid of XP and stop using IE... Those are the two worst combos... They install BS in your compter without you even knowing...

    Bullsh!t. Which means they install random crap, such as spyware. Anyways XP rocks and it doesn't install random crap ;p, it's probably the fact taht he isn't updated/trojan.

    Or just reboot your computer. To make sure it DOESN'T happen again.
