    even the best get caught out then Intel ...lol

    I almost got "Lop" the other week after my daughter had been on here, it attempted to install and change my homepage, Microsoft spyware saved me as it warned me, even so it rebooted the PC after I blocked it....

    was clean on several scans afterwards

    I have just read the above link. Could i ask how do i know how far back to restore my system(does it give me options? i'm not sue when i got this bug) and then how do i look for a file named advert bar and remove it??

    Is there any reason it keeps coming back ?

    I Have just done the Ad-Aware scan and the bloody thing is back again (just incase you needed to know that?) Should i quarantine it again??

    Did you disable system restore before you ran the scan again? You don't need to take the PC back to a time before you picked up the problem, this is to stop it from hiding in your system files.
    This site has saved me a fortune :money: ...it's also cost me a fortune! :doh:
