Lee, you have a small program on your system which is allowing others entry into your computer, a backdoor utility basically. More information can be found here http://www.europe.f-secure.com/v-descs/ptsnoop.shtml. Delete the file and also open your win.ini file in notepad and remove the line 'c:\windows\system\ptsnoop.exe' to 'load = ' to remove it from your system. Most security applications like AVG, Norton, and F-Secure will detect it. Peter Kaulback ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
