I'll look into it. I already have something that pops up (from my anti-virus software), that always pops up and announces "we have tested this site, and it's safe"

Or it will say WITH A BIG X, We have found this to be a potential harmful website". So I don't go there.

But now we're talking about Alan here, not me. He's goes into places I have never heard of.

But I will check out what you linked.

thanks much

P.S. Jo, did you see my post on my new gadget that I just got. It's a spin dryer that I got from Simply Good Stuff (I think that's where I got it from). go to the Arthritis forum and read the posting. You'll go hysterical.

This thing is the best thing since sliced bread.

it keeps coming back because something somewhere is telling it too. First thing you should do is delete you temp files, cookies etc etc.. A good way to do this is use crap cleaner (now known as CCleaner). It's completely free and harmless and available for free made by a company called piriform . You will have to google it as I can't post links (im new)

After that you should try removing hijacks in Safe mode as in normal mode it can't always remove it and the programs dont always tell you that.

A good way to see if your running something on startup 'inserting' the registry entries again. Just check your startup info and google the names of anything you aren't sure on. (Go to start > run > type "msconfig" without quotes > startup)

If you could post exactly which Hijack it is it may help people help you, as some Hijack entries are coming from a program sometimes in the C:\program files\ folder for example

Sparky:

I LOVE the name Sparky by the way.

I also wish I knew half the stuff you know. Anyway, I can't do what you said to do because Alan OWNS this computer lately and I rarely get to go on. I'm here now because I can't get channel 3 on my tv. I'm posting a thread on that right now.

Thank you very much for all the info you provided. When I get a chance, I'll go and do it.
