Re: [CGUYS] bug
Time for you to run some malware scans. http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/10-free-online-malware-and-virus-scanners/ . Install Spybot as suggested and do the Immunize thing. I think the ultimate cause of this was that you probably invited it onboard. i.e., it wasn't some virus payload. You need to be real careful when installing apps. I think you're running Win7 now? That's good, but add more protection by running a limited user account, and keep UAC set fairly high. PS pwn is pronounced pone rhymes with bone. Or pwned poned rhymes with and means owned.

Excellent choice. I have used their products numerous times (free ones) to fix some very buggy computers. Stewart At 08:09 PM 1/3/2010, you wrote: Malwarebytes is another good one.

Re: [CGUYS] bug
Is it sending you to one site, random sites? Spam sites or what? When you hover in your browser does the address displayed match the address you go to when you click?
